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.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

September 7, 2016September 7, 2016wsbrandsites

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.

This year, we’ll be celebrating Tough Enough To Wear Pink Day on October 19. 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.

Or, shop special Tough Enough to Wear Pink items offered by some of the cause’s sponsors:

Don a shirt that shows your support for Tough Enough To Wear Pink with a purchase from Wrangler, TETWP’s presenting sponsor.

Find a new belt buckle, watch or necklace in the Tough Enough To Wear Pink section of Montana Silversmiths.

Give breast cancer “the boot” when you purchase pink footwear from Twisted X Boots. Contact Twisted X here to find their boots and shoes in stores near you.

The fight against breast cancer is a cause we hold close to our hearts here at the Purple Cowboy. Our co-founder, Terry Wheatley, is a breast cancer survivor. She lost her grandmother to the disease, her mother had a double mastectomy before the age of 40 and her daughter Katie had undergone two surgical biopsies before the age of 20.

It’s a story that many in our online Purple Cowboy community share. Let’s stand together, support each other and help fight this devastating disease by sharing our strength and sharing our stories.

This year, we’re asking you to share your personal story, or the story of someone you care about who has been affected by breast cancer in our “Celebrate Survivors” campaign.

One of those great friends, Twisted X Boots, will be sharing breast cancer survivor stories on their Facebook Page every day during the month of April.

Tough Enough to Wear Pink will be posting those stories to their Facebook page. Please make sure you’re a fan, so you can follow along with us.

A portion of each sale of Twisted X shoes supports Tough Enough to Wear Pink. Check out the TETWP collection at your local Twisted X retailer. And if they don’t carry these shoes, ask them to order some!

TETWP will also be sharing news about rodeos across the country and how they raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to support breast cancer awareness and research through special Tough Enough events.

And we can’t forget to mention that Purple Cowboy Wines, a part of the Wine Sisterhood family of
wines is a proud supporter of Tough Enough to Wear Pink. Follow us on Facebook for even more Western Tough updates.
