October 13th is designated as Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. It is a day set aside to raise awareness about what Metastatic Breast Cancer is.
Breast cancer awareness is an effort to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of breast cancer through education on symptoms and treatment. Supporters hope that greater knowledge will lead to earlier detection of breast cancer, which is associated with higher long-term survival rates, and that money raised for breast cancer will produce a reliable, permanent cure.
There are a bunch of small organizations that help raise awareness about this issue but there is a large one called the National Breast Cancer Foundation that does a lot of fund raising and support.
Some of the ways that breast cancer awareness is being promoted by sports teams are by donating a percentage of ticket sales or sponsoring walks or special games to raise money.

No it was just involvement in Breast cancer advocacy.Fall 2005, the Colts asked Manning to help their efforts to raise money for breast cancer. "(Green Bay Packers quarterback) Brett Favre's wife, Deanna, had come down with breast cancer and that made an impact on me," Manning says. "I thought with Peyton and the Colts, we can do something to make a difference."Deanna Favre's battle against breast cancer quickly became intensely personal. She ordered pink Colts ball caps to sell to raise money for breast cancer research. "My dad bought a large amount of hats and I mailed them to my mom," Manning recalls. "The day she got them she called me and said, 'I got your hats and it's perfect timing, because I just found out today that I have breast cancer.'"Manning's mother also had cancer- and a double mastectomy.Manning's goal is to use Peyton's platform to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research. Several Indianapolis businesses have pledged to help her raise money through events. "If you can find it early, you'll be OK," Mannings suggests. "That's really my goal, to help improve people's ability to find it early."Manning and his wife were just involved in raising awareness of breast cancer related issues.
They are saying what color their bra is. It's to raise awareness about breast cancer.
