FIGHTING BREAST CANCER
 
Real Men Wear Pink
For this issue's non-profit pairing, we worked with the American Cancer Society in conjunction with their Real Men Wear Pink campaign. With special thanks to our Real Men Wear Pink participants Mike Larson (Evansville Fire Department), Nick Iaccorino (WFIE) and David Hudspeth (Shoe Carnival) for modeling styles from Ella Park Bridal for the shoot photographed by Goad Photography. Real Men Wear Pink gives men a leadership role in the fight against breast cancer. Community leaders around the nation use the power of pink to raise awareness and money for the American Cancer Society's breast cancer initiatives, including innovative research, patient services, and education around screenings and risk reduction. It's one important way they're attacking cancer from every angle. As a Real Men Wear Pink candidate, leaders commit to: - Wearing pink throughout October - Raising awareness for the cause through their social media networks - Raising a minimum of $2,500 to help the American Cancer Society fight breast cancer Apart from skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer type in women. In 2019:
