Legislator Dixon Declares Oct. 20 Breast Cancer Awareness Day in Erie County

In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Legislator Lynne M. Dixon, Hamburg, declared October 20th Breast Cancer Awareness Day in Erie County in an effort to increase public knowledge about the importance of early detection, diagnosis and treatment.

“Sadly, many local families have been affected by breast cancer and many more will continue to fight this devastating disease. My hope is that by declaring October 20th Breast Cancer Awareness Day in Erie County residents will come together to bring attention to this issue, support research, and highlight the importance of being vigilant and getting checked,” said Legislator Dixon.

The Legislature, dressed in pink to show their support, joined Legislator Dixon in her efforts and officially declared October 20th Breast Cancer Awareness Day in Erie County during its session held in Legislative Chambers.
