About

Pink Monday

Why would you organise a Pink Monday?

Sixteen years ago, British psychologist Cliff Arnal coined the term 'Blue Monday' to refer to a day that he said is the most depressing day of the year. It is a Monday when the majority of the population feels gloomy and sad because it gets dark early, the holidays are behind us and the next holidays are not yet in sight.

Pink Ribbon wants to change this! Our mission is to turn the most depressing day of the year into a day of hope, support and awareness of breast cancer. This is how we turn Blue Monday into Pink Monday!

Pink is the new blue!

We will dedicate this day entirely to prevention, (early) detection of breast cancer and support for (former)breast cancer patients. Currently, 100,000 Belgian women are fighting the disease. In your workplace too, one women in nine may be affected by breast cancer. It is therefore important to support your affected colleague(s) in this difficult period. He or she will have to endure a tough journey with ups and downs. The support of their environment can make this journey much more bearable. 

We provide the necessary tips, tricks and tools, and your employees can carry them out. This way, we are fighting breast cancer together.
