So, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  This probably comes as no surprise to most of you. Approximately 12% of women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer during their lifetimes.  While rates of diagnosis began dropping in 2000 and survival rates are on the increase the death rate from breast cancer in the US is still higher than for any other cancer besides lung cancer.  We can all help continue the improvements in survival rates by raising awareness and we are offering a selection of Breast Cancer Awareness Balloons to help you promote your event, encourage awareness and raise much needed funds for research.  Our 15% discount will help keep more of the funds you raise going toward research and education.
