NJ Assembly GOP logo goes pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

TRENTON, N.J. - The red and gold logo of the New Jersey Assembly GOP is turning pink to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the month of October, the @njassemblygop logo will feature a pink background with a white Statehouse dome to highlight the importance of breast cancer awareness.

Pink is recognized as the universal color to raise awareness for breast cancer detection, treatment and research while honoring those who have been affected by the disease. It is used by corporations, nonprofits and other organizations to encourage women to be proactive about their breast health and serves as the color of hope for women and families battling the disease.

Breast cancer has the second highest cancer fatality rate among women in New Jersey, claiming more than 1,200 lives annually. It is also the second most common cancer in American women with an estimated one in eight developing it over the course of their lifetime.

All the Assembly Republican social media accounts will feature the pink logo until Nov. 1.
