Many know October as a month filled with excitement and joy as we look forward to Halloween and other fun fall activities, but it is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. October is dedicated to supporting those suffering from breast cancer, and remembering those who have lost their lives to this devastating illness.

Throughout the month of October, many people come together and create fundraisers to help find a cure. A common color used to support breast cancer is pink.

At Abington High School, many sports teams show their support by wearing pink at practices and games. Green Wave football players wear pink socks and sweatbands to their games. The AHS cheerleading squad made pink cheerleading bows that they wear to games and also have themed practices where they drench themselves in pink.

You can even find people dying strands of their hair pink throughout the school! Abington High School is a proud supporter among many for breast cancer awareness month and will continue to show their support during the upcoming games and school events.
