Miami Lakes Council members and Town staff wore pink at the October 3 Council meeting to show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
In addition, nightly throughout October, Town Hall is illuminated in pink lighting and throughout the day, the lobby lights also glow pink.
In honor of the month, Mayor Manny Cid and Council members highlighted a special non-profit organization in the Town. The Women’s Breast & Heart Initiative is dedicated to teaching women about the importance of breast and heart health, the two largest causes of death among women.
The organization impacts the community with its door-to-door outreach program, and by providing education, screenings, and referrals to underserved women.
Residents can show their support by wearing pink during October and are urged to share their photos using the official hashtag #iheartmiamilakes.
