Courage Starts with a Check
It's Breast To Go Early
About
This year’s theme celebrates women and their supporters, acknowledging the shared fears around breast cancer and highlighting the courage of facing them together by doing breast self-examinations and going for screening.
Held every October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) is a national public health movement aimed at raising breast cancer awareness and driving early detection.
NBCAM is organised annually by a national committee comprising seven partner organisations. This year, Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) takes the helm, and for the first time, will unite all seven partners under a single, unified campaign, to inspire collective action in the fight against breast cancer.
