If you watched football, or even got out the house and did anything this weekend, chances are you saw some pink; the color commemorating breast cancer awareness month throughout October. The NFL, other organizations, and individuals across the world will commemorate breast cancer awareness through events like fundraisers, walks, and wearing pink to raise awareness for this terrible disease.
