Indigenous Pink Day
Join AICAF on October 17, 2019 for Indigenous Pink Day!
Indigenous Pink Day is a national breast cancer awareness campaign for American Indian and Alaska Native people. Our team invites Native people of all ages to join us by wearing pink and sharing photos on social media using the hashtag #IndigenousPink. Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in Native women, and is the second leading cause of cancer death. Indigenous Pink Day aims to educate people about the importance of early detection, and remind both men and women to stay up to date on cancer screenings. Because this national campaign happens on a digital platform, community members are able to participate from anywhere!
