A.  October has long been recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the United States, and the wearing of the color pink in the form of ribbons and apparel has been associated with the breast cancer awareness campaign.  It is an annual health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities to increase awareness of breast cancer and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure.

B.  In honor of those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, October twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, and twenty-seventh are hereby designated annually as “Care Enough to Wear Pink” days throughout the state of Louisiana.
