HARRISBURG – The PA Breast Cancer Coalition began its month-long breast cancer awareness and action initiative by turning the State Capitol East Wing Fountain pink. Every day, 38 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the Keystone State. When detected at its earliest stages, the 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is over 90%. The pink fountain is a site of celebration for all breast cancer survivors living in PA, a place of reflection for the Pennsylvanians lost to breast cancer, and a symbol of hope that working together, a cure for breast cancer will be found.
