Breast Cancer Awareness Month, celebrated each October, promotes breast cancer research and encourages women to do mammograms and breast self-examinations. According to the National Cancer Institute, 192,370 women and 1,910 men in the United States were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. In the same year, 40,170 women and 440 men died of breast cancer. You can help fund research by purchasing breast cancer awareness golf products from companies that specialize in golf accessories.
