National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was founded in 1985 as a partnership between the American Cancer Society and the pharmaceutical division of Imperial Chemical Industries, maker of several anti-breast cancer drugs. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. We have made a lot of progress but still have a long way to go.

AYSO Region 112 honors all of our fighters, survivors, and loved ones we have lost. To honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our referees are wearing pink jerseys and all of our fields have a pink ribbon painted on them. Remember, early detection helps save lives.
