In 2008, more than 250,000 women are expected to develop some form of this disease. Although we do not know how to prevent breast cancer, there are steps women can take to reduce their risk of developing it and to find it early if it does occur.  \nSome risk factors for breast cancer cannot be changed, such as age, race, family history of the disease, and reproductive history. However, lifestyle factors such as reducing alcohol use, getting regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and breast feeding are all associated with lower risk.  \nFollowing breast cancer early detection guidelines is also important. The earlier a breast tumor is found, the easier it is to treat. Women age 40 and older should get yearly mammograms and breast exams from their doctor. And all women should have their doctor or nurse check for any lumps or other unusual changes in their breasts, no matter what their age.  \nBreast cancer also affects men, but it is much rarer. Around 2,000 men in the United States are expected to get breast cancer in 2008. Because this disease is so uncommon among men, routine screening is not recommended. However, men should also report any unusual breast changes to their doctor.  \nHow to use this Toolkit  \nThroughout the month of October, take time to educate your community on the importance of breast health and breast cancer early detection.  \nThis toolkit gives you resources for implementing a breast cancer awareness campaign within your community. The kit includes suggestions and ideas for promoting general awareness through a variety of methods including brochures, email blasts, newsletter articles, quick facts, etc.  \nCollaborate with other volunteers in your community, including the survivorship, publicity and advocacy chairs, to develop an action plan for your community.  \nSuggestions for Promoting National Breast Cancer Awareness Month within your Community  \n(All content for email blasts, newsletter, quick tips, and recipes mentioned throughout this list is located in the pages to follow.)  \nBrochures  \nBrochures are available from your American Cancer Society. Contact your local staff partner to place an order for breast cancer brochures and other materials. See your Fight Back Kit for examples.  \nEmail Blasts  \nPromote Breast Cancer Awareness Month by sending email blasts to friends, family, committee members, team captains, etc and encouraging them to do the same.  \nEmail Blast \\#1: Is it time for your annual mammogram?  \nEmail Blast \\#2: Mammograms Matter  \n• You can also print and distribute the email blasts as flyers at locations throughout your community.  \nEmail Signature  \nConsider changing your email signature to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month –“There is HOPE in the fight against breast cancer but we must do more. Encourage all women over age 40 in your life to get a mammogram every year.
