Happy October! Thai Bloom is featuring a couple of Pink Drinks in support of spreading Breast Cancer Awareness this month. Thai Bloom will donate 10% of Pink Drink sales to the Susan G. Komen non profit organization https://www.komen.org in the month of October.

Our featured drinks are Pink Lemon Drop (a delightful version of classic lemon drop, with a splash of pink lemonade juice, and beautifully white-sugared rim) and Pretty in Pink Mimosa (a traditional style mimosa using prosecco, and grapefruit juice.) Breast Cancer Awareness is important as it impacts everybody. We all have people in our life that this affects; whether it be family, friends, and/or colleagues.

Did you know that ALL women are at risk for breast cancer? Breast cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States, after lung cancer. According to the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC), in 2022 it is estimated that 43,250 women and 530 men will die of breast cancer. Only 5-10% of women (5-20% of males) with breast cancer have inherited a mutation in a known breast cancer gene (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2). Early detection can save lives, which is why it’s so important for regular self-examinations and screenings. As we get older, we become more at risk. Knowing your family history is also useful as it can be passed down from generations. Making healthy lifestyle choices are good preventative measures, however, there is no guarantee to completely avoid breast cancer.

Sharing stories and getting the word out are the best ways to spread awareness. For more information and other resources, please visit https://www.komen.org/breast-cancer/screening/self-awareness/ and https://www.stopbreastcancer.org/information-center/facts-figures/
