Pink ribbons are an important symbol of breast cancer awareness, especially in October. It is estimated that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime and this year alone, 287,500 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S., according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc.

The four O06 groups in the Quality Division created an engagement opportunity to spread breast cancer awareness and show support for family, friends and coworkers in October. The O06 group had a “pink out day” along with a group lunch.

“With various combinations of in-office schedules, flexible work schedules and remote work schedules, it is important to provide opportunities such as this for members of the group to have in-person engagement and support from team members,” said Monica Schnautz (O06).
