In its inaugural year in Greater Nashville, 35 men will unite to fight breast cancer with the American Cancer Society (ACS) through participation in the Real Men Wear Pink campaign.
Now through October 31, Real Men Wear Pink participants will encourage community members to take action in the fight against breast cancer.
Dollars raised through Real Men Wear Pink help save lives from breast cancer through early detection and prevention, innovative breast cancer research, and patient support. The ACS Real Men Wear Pink initiative began in Jackson, Tenn. in 2013. By last year it had grown to 2,700 candidates raising more than $6.5 million in 200 communities nationwide.
Greater Nashville’s Real Men will link from realmenwearpinkacs.org/nashvilletn. Each participant accepts a fundraising challenge and will compete to be the top fundraiser among his peers by the end of the campaign.
