Tough Enough To Wear Pink Day is October 19!

October 5, 2016wsbrandsites

Everybody knows a survivor, a family member or friend fighting the disease, or has lost a loved one to breast cancer. It’s time for a cure and there has been tremendous progress towards that goal.

We want to thank our friends, fans and family members who work tirelessly to support breast cancer awareness and research all year round. It’s through your efforts that Tough Enough To Wear Pink has raised $24 million to date.

But we have more work to do.

Through our continued outreach and your support, we’re determined to hit the goal of $50 million by the Tough Enough To Wear Pink 20^th anniversary in 2024.

This month, Tough Enough To Wear Pink will be sharing the breast cancer “Survivor Stories” collected over the past few months. They’ll also announce the “Survivor Stories” grand prize winner of a trip to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and Gold Buckle seats at the end of October.

And don’t forget to mark your calendars — Tough Enough to Wear Pink Day is October 19. Make sure you’re following the TETWP Facebook Page and RSVP to the Tough Enough To Wear Pink Day event so you don’t miss an update!

We’re challenging you to paint the world pink on October 19. Rally your families, friends and coworkers to do the same and show support for all of the breast cancer survivors in our lives.

Feel free to come up with your own special ways for raising awareness, but here are a few ideas for how to get you started:

Encourage family members to wear pink.
Spread the word around your office or workplace that October 19 is Tough Enough to Wear Pink Day. Encourage your coworkers to wear pink.
Send a card or small gift to a special person in your life who is a breast cancer survivor.
Follow the breast cancer survivor stories that are being shared all month long on the Tough Enough To Wear Pink Facebook page.

Gear Up to Support Tough Enough To Wear Pink!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month—time to remember those we have lost, celebrate survivors and vow to carry on the fight. If you or someone you love hasn’t had a breast health check-up or mammogram, this is a great time to take that important step for prevention and early detection.

On October 19, we’re challenging all of our fans to show their support for the fight against cancer by painting the world pink. We encourage you, your friends and co-workers to wear pink. Tell us you’re participating in this worldwide event on the Tough Enough To Wear Pink Facebook page, and we’ll send you a reminder.

We’re also celebrating a big milestone. To date, more than $24 million dollars have been raised through Tough Enough To Wear Pink, through rodeos and western events across the country and the generous support of sponsors like Wrangler, Montana Silversmiths, PRCA and Purple Cowboy wines. Our goal is to raise $50 million dollars by the 20^th Anniversary of Tough Enough To Wear Pink in 2024.

Throughout October, Tough Enough To Wear Pink will be sharing breast cancer “Survivor Stories” collected over the past few months. We’ll announce our “Survivor Stories” grand prize winner of a trip to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and Gold Buckle seats at the end of October. Make sure you’re following the TETWP Facebook Page so you don’t miss an update.

And if you’re feeling like your pink gear needs a little freshening up, we encourage you to visit the Tough Enough Store and stock up on all your favorites in preparation for October.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and a Month to Remember

October 2, 2015October 2, 2015wsbrandsites

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is the month we all take time to remember those who have been lost to breast cancer and those who have struggled through treatment to beat the disease. A sea of pink on television, in magazines, in sporting events is a reminder to all of us to schedule our mammograms. Early detection saves lives. October is the month to salute the doctors and researchers who continue to diligently work to find a cure for breast cancer.

Tough Enough to Wear Pink launched in 2004 at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Tough Enough to Wear Pink was co-founded by Terry Wheatley, the creator of Purple Cowboy Wines and the Wine Sisterhood. Tough Enough to Wear Pink struck a cord within the western community. Why? Because cowboys, cowgirls and rodeo fans all had a friend, neighbor or family member who had been affected by the disease. They wanted to show their support.

The sponsors of rodeo also wanted to show their support.

Wrangler was the first to answer the call. For the first “pink performance” at the 2004 WNFR, Wrangler had pink shirts air shipped to the rodeo just in time for the Tough Enough to Wear Pink night – pink was not a “standard” color in a cowboy’s closet at the time. Now it is because of Wrangler.

Wrangler has continued their support by becoming the Title Sponsor of Tough Enough to Wear Pink and has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars through their sale of pink merchandise to multiple breast cancer charities.

Montana Silversmiths was also one of the original sponsors and they continue to support the campaign today. The artists of Montana Silversmiths created a line of Tough Enough to Wear Pink jewelry that is sold in western stores throughout the country. A percentage of the sale supports TETWP.

And now Twisted X has joined the sponsor family. Twisted X developed a licensed collection of TETWP boots and footware. Twisted X supports the campaign throughout the year by donating a portion of the sale of every pair sold in the TETWP Collection.

Everyone can show their support of Tough Enough to Wear Pink by purchasing the products from Wrangler, Montana Silversmiths and Twisted X.

October is the Breast Cancer AWARENESS month. Raising awareness reminds us to get a mammogram, it reminds us to be thankful to the doctors and researchers searching for a cure, it reminds us to thank everyone involved in supporting their communities through their Tough Enough to Wear Pink events and it reminds us to the many sponsors that support the campaign.
