Breast cancer awareness month
This year marks the Hong Kong Cancer Fund's (HKCF) 11th Pink Revolution, a month-long campaign in October to increase awareness of breast cancer. Singer and actress Coco Lee is this year's Pink Ambassador.
Whether it's the full blush or just a tinge of rose, pink your outfit on this date. Organisations are encouraged to host their own Pink Party and make a donation to support breast cancer patients. For as little as HK$100, you can sponsor a Pink Recovery Pack, which contains a temporary breast prosthesis, information booklet and other important items that help post-surgery patients with their healing and rehabilitation.
HKCF has collaborated with a number of fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands - such as The Body Shop, Zojirushi, Pizza Express and Shanghai Tang - to sell special pink products and services. Part of the proceeds will go to supporting HKCF's free breast cancer services. Check out the website for a list of items on sale.
