Why would you organise a Pink Monday?
Twenty years ago, British psychologist Cliff Arnall coined the term Blue Monday to describe the third Monday of January as the most depressing day of the year. Many people feel particularly down on that day: it gets dark early, the holidays are over, and the next vacation still feels far away.
At Pink Ribbon, we want to change that! We 're turning Blue Monday into Pink Monday: a day of positivity and solidarity, when we roll up our sleeves to support the fight against breast cancer.
With a Pink Monday at your company, you can:
-
raise awareness among your colleagues about the risks of breast cancer and the importance of prevention and screening.
-
bring your team together around a positive initiative with great social impact.
-
raise funds for scientific research and for Pink Ribbon’s projects in prevention, early detection, and psychosocial support — as well as for our awareness campaigns.
-
Give your company a creative and visible way to brighten a day when many employees might otherwise feel low.
