This October, Goodwill Keystone Area employee Tonya Hollinger rocks her pink hair, pink glittery nails, pink jewelry and clothes to celebrate three years of recovering from breast cancer.<\/p>\n

“Pink is the quintessential female color,\u201d<\/em> says Margaret Welch, director of the Color Association of the United States. And for breast cancer patients and survivors, pink is a happy place – a place of hope, healing, femininity and pride.<\/p>\n

During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, pink becomes a sign of solidarity for women and families fighting this terrible disease. Pink has become a sort of non-verbal signal sent out to breast cancer patients saying, \u201cI support you, and I\u2019ve got your back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Men wear pink ties, shirts or lapel pins. NFL players wear pink socks, wristbands, and shoes. Women dye their hair, paint their nails, and wear pink clothing and accessories.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s wearing pink with a purpose\u2026it\u2019s here, it\u2019s now and it\u2019s Goodwill!<\/p>\n

This month, join Tonya and others in wearing pink to show your support and solidarity in the fight against breast cancer. Visit your local Goodwill store and find your pop of pink. Wear it with purpose and wear it with pride.<\/p>\n

And one more thing, last year Tonya added a permanent accessory\u2026a pink \u201cHope\u201d tattoo.<\/p>\n
