Pink Ribbon Awareness Campaigns Will Never Deliver Public Health
As the month of October winds down, we’d like to share an article with you that offers insightful reflections on Pink Ribbon philanthropy. It says so many things that we believe profoundly and why we always go beyond breast cancer issues and make links to a range of other diseases.
Author, Rachel Kahn Best takes up the following question that is so close to our hearts and minds: Why do disease campaigns focus so much on awareness and research, and less on health care and prevention?
