New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced that both City Hall and the David N. Dinkins Manhattan Municipal Building will be lit pink tonight in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
“This month we honor the survivors, those currently fighting, those we’ve lost to breast cancer, and all the friends and family members who have sadly witnessed the pain this disease inflicts on millions,” said Mayor Adams. “This devastating disease affects hundreds of thousands of people each year, and Black women have the highest rates of mortality, but screening early and often can save lives. Especially as we come out of the pandemic, I encourage all New Yorkers to talk with their health care providers and make sure they are up to date on screenings.”
