STAFF REPORTS
Pink is popping up everywhere across Kyle and Buda this month.
Wearing pink ribbons in their hair, Lehman High School cheerleaders waved pink pompoms at the Lobos’ football game last Friday night.
Across town, Seton Medical Center Hays is illuminated each night this month by purplish-pink lights. And Central Texas Medical Center in San Marcos is giving pink carnations to women who receive mammograms.
The groups and organizations are “painting it pink” through the end of October in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. CTMC is also teaming with Community Action to provide 100 free mammograms to qualifying women.
The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month organization is a partnership of national public service organizations, professional medical associations and government agencies working together to promote breast cancer awareness, share information on the disease and provide greater access to screening services.
