Breast Cancer Awareness - Pink Ribbon merchandise - Fundraising ideas: Here are some statistics on breast cancer:

1,000,000 women in America are living with undetected breast cancer. In America this year, a new case of breast cancer will be diagnosed every 3 minutes. Every 13 minutes, the disease will claim another life. 1 out of every 8 women in America will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. That's up from 1 out of 14 in 1960. Over 70% of breast cancer cases occur in women with no identifiable risk factors. Breast cancer incidence increases with age, rising sharply after age 40. About 80% of invasive breast cancers occur in women over age 50. Average diagnosis is 64. (But don't let this fool you, young women can get breast cancer too.) A screening mammogram is a simple, low-dose x-ray procedure that can reveal breast cancer at its earliest stage - up to two years before it's large enough to be felt. Yet in 2000, a survey showed that only 63% of women age 40 or older had received a mammogram within the last year. Men can develop breast cancer, too. Each year, 1,500 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and 400 will die. Of all the breast cancer lumps biopsied in the United States, over 80% will turn out benign. Nevertheless, all irregularities should be examined by a physician. The five-year survival rate for patients treated for early-stage breast cancer is 97%. Over two million breast cancer survivors are alive in America today.
