Do we wear pink in October? Or do we wear purple? The answer is both! The entire
month of October is identified as Breast Cancer Awareness month, and is most commonly
correlated with wearing pink as a reminder. However, on October 16th we wear purple!
This day is symbolic for Breast Reconstruction Awareness and is known as National Bra Day!

This day is symbolic for Breast Reconstruction Awareness and is known as National Bra Day!
After doing some research, National Bra Day was brought to light in 2011 when plastic
surgeon, Dr. Mitchell Brown, from Toronto, Canada, decided to create a day to be able
to focus on supporting and educating patients about mastectomy surgeries and the
choices of reconstruction. October 16th was chosen for this observance holiday and is
still recognized as a momentous day for breast reconstruction awareness.

Speaking of plastic surgeons…why is this cause so near and dear to our hearts?
Dr. Yonick is a leader in breast cancer reconstruction for the Great Lakes Bay Region.
He is also a strong advocate for breast cancer patients to be educated on all of their
reconstruction options. This is an important mission that Dr. Yonick feels very passionate
about.

To celebrate National Bra Day, some women actually leave their bras at home to
cultivate breast cancer awareness and remind women everywhere that they should
get screens for breast cancer on a regular basis. This day is also a day when people rally
to raise money for breast cancer research. National Bra Day is celebrated without a bra
to stand in support of the many women who have survived breast cancer and can no
longer go without wearing a bra, because they need it to hold their prosthesis in place
after undergoing surgery. Women who aren’t able to go without a bra, but would still like
to participate and show support, choose to wear the color purple.

So, anyone who wants to take part in observing breast reconstruction awareness on
October 16th, please wear purple and/or take a more relaxed approach and go sans-bra!
Guys, we’re talking to you too! Another way to show your support is to use these
hashtags on any social media platform:
#NationalNoBraDay or even just #NoBraDay.
