62nd Precinct Council to raise money for breast cancer research
BENSONHURST – October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and members of the 62nd Precinct Community Council are determined to bring the message closer to home by holding a breakfast event to raise money for research into a cure.
The community council will host a Pink Breakfast on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at the Bensonhurst Center for Rehabilitation and Health Care, 1740 84th St., from 10 a.m. to noon. The center is sponsoring the event.
It’s no accident that the event is called a Pink Breakfast. The color pink has become associated with the effort to raise awareness of the impact of breast cancer. During the month of October, it is common to see women wearing pink ribbons in solidarity with cancer patients.
