Miami Lakes Town Council members and staff wore pink during the October 4 Council meeting to show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In addition, Town Hall has been illuminated every night in pink lighting this month, and throughout the day, lobby lights glow a beautiful shade of pink.
Councilmember Nelson Rodriguez highlighted a special non-profit, the Women’s Breast and Heart Initiative. Based in Miami Lakes, the organization is dedicated to teaching women about the importance of breast and heart health, the two largest causes of death among women, through its door-to-door outreach program, and by providing education, screenings, and referrals to underserved women.
The Town encourages the community to honor those who have lost their lives, recognize the courageous breast cancer survivors, and reaffirm a commitment to raising awareness of the disease by wearing pink for the rest of the month and sharing photos to the hashtag #iheartmiamilakes.
