October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and your company should be first in your community to step up and start helping out with the cause. Printed items to support breast cancer awareness should be ordered in advance.
Printed promotional items you can use as giveaways include:
Office Supplies
People always appreciate extra items for use in their office. You can supply these items and raise awareness at the same time. Stick with the color pink, and add a message about breast cancer awareness along with your company name as sponsor. Think about donating a basket to local businesses, and don’t forget to ask local women’s health centers if they can use any.
