Hi!
This is a great question since it’s now the month of October. I don’t know the exact date that the month was created, but here’s a few things I do know. Breast cancer awareness month was started in October 1985 through a partnership between the American Cancer Society and the pharmaceutical division of Imperial Chemical Industries. The month was then supported by Betty Ford, former first lady of the US and breast cancer survivor, which brought more attention to the newly established month. Breast cancer awareness month was initially created to raise awareness for the detection and prevention of breast cancer and to give women more information on breast cancer. Now, the month also helps to raise funds for further research and better education on prevention methods. You should do more research if you want to know the exact details of how Breast Cancer Awareness Month was started, but I hope this gave you some general information.
