Pink Out at courthouse raises funds during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

A Pink Out of interior decoration occurred at the Butler County Courthouse for October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
All funds raised throughout the event will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The events also served to increase awareness of the Care For Yourself program, which assists those who qualify, to afford a mammogram.
The Care for Yourself program has enough funding for 98 mammograms this grant cycle, which goes from July 2016 to June 2017, said Patty Nordmeyer, program coordinator. Komen for the Cure funds a small part of the screening program, she said. The rest of the funding comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Oct. 7, 42 had signed up for Care for Yourself.
Nordmeyer challenged each office to decorate in pink to increase awareness of the importance of early detection with regard to breast cancer.
