Autumn is getting stronger and October will soon come. Do you like pink? It turns out that pink has a close relationship with October! The editor will share with you today the origin of "Pink October".
The connection between pink ribbons and October first began in 1991; at a road running event for breast cancer survivors in New York, the organizer made pink ribbons and gave them to participating runners.
In October 1992, Evelyn Lauder, senior vice president of the Estée Lauder Group, and Ms. Penny, editor-in-chief of American Self magazine, promoted the concept of a road running event symbolized by the "pink ribbon" to the cosmetics industry. Since then, many women have taken the initiative to promote it. Different from the chest; in a pink atmosphere, the pink ribbon has become a symbol of breast cancer prevention and treatment.
