On the occasion of Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2022, our firm organized a photo-taking session on Friday, October 21 at 3 pm. This session is a part of a global effort to raise awareness about breast cancer, one of the world’s most prevalent types of cancer. Often times, the disease has been overlooked by males. However, breast cancer can affect both men and women. Thus, it is not only important for us to contribute in terms of showing our support, but also to shed light on the often-misunderstood disease.
Our firm also prepared pink ribbons, the universal symbol of breast cancer awareness, on Friday for our team to wear. From a simple piece of ribbon affixed with a pin, we will be able to show our support for those battling with breast cancer and illustrate our hope for their healthful future.
