"Out of the Shadow of Pink", "The Brandon Greening Foundation", Herb Wagner of "A
Man's Pink" and the "Bret Miller 1T check them Foundation" have joined forces to
establish a Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week.
Proclamation for the Third Week of October
MALE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS WEEK
Be It Resolved…
WHEREAS, each year 450 men will die from male breast cancer and the numbers are
increasing. Men are typically diagnosed at a late stage and we believe this is primarily
due to a lack of awareness that men too can develop the disease.
WHEREAS, it behooves each of us, men, women, parents, siblings, educators,
physicians and citizens to promote awareness of the disease and possibly save men’s
lives.
WHEREAS, we must educate the world to the reality of this disease, and
WHEREAS, in remembrance of the many men who have lost their lives or are fighting
for their lives, due to a lack of awareness, it is appropriate that we designate the Third
Week of October as Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week.

Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week
In 2005 the American Cancer Society estimated that 1200 men would be diagnosed
with male breast cancer; the estimate for 2009 was 1990 men. The Canadian Cancer
Society estimated approximately 200 men would be diagnosed with MBC in 2009 and in
the United Kingdom the estimate for men was 300. Statistics show that a higher
percentage of men will die from breast cancer than women because they are typically
diagnosed at a later stage. Although it is still rare, the incidence of male breast cancer
continues to increase. Most men are still sadly unaware. The chances for successful
treatment and ultimately survival are best when breast cancer is found in its earliest
stages. As proven by the pink ribbon campaign, early detection is the best method. In
order that the same opportunity be afforded to men it is vital that we create a Male
Breast Cancer Awareness Week. We must educate men now!
