Support breast cancer awareness month by wearing pink this Friday, Oct. 24.

Did you know that breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States? One in eight women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, women at average risk for breast cancer should start getting mammograms at age 40. Schedule your mammogram today, ladies!

County Management has approved for employees whose role does not require a uniform to wear pink on Friday, Oct. 24!

If you choose not to participate, please adhere to the normal Dress Code Policy.
