Think Pink
Nor-Cal Think Pink is a community effort to promote breast cancer awareness. Early detection is the best defense against breast cancer - when caught and treated early, breast cancer has a 98% cure rate. It is our hope that through advocacy and outreach education with our surrounding Northern California communities (Shasta, Siskiyou, Modoc, Tehama, and Trinity), women will recognize the importance of annual mammograms, monthly breast self exams, and other early detection tools. We invite you to join us in our mission by supporting Think Pink and helping to spread the word about the importance of early detection.
