Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month During October

Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. According to The CDC, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.

In an effort to promote awareness and show support, PFCU is collecting donations to contribute to the American Cancer Society of Michigan, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, for the entire month of October.
