The breast cancer awareness ribbon almost wasn't pink; a grassroots effort by Charlotte Haley began with peach‐colored loops. At
the same time, Alexandra Penney, Self magazine's Editor‐in‐Chief, partnered with Evelyn Lauder, Estée Lauder's Senior
Corporate Vice President and a breast cancer survivor, to distribute pink ribbons after the magazine's second annual Breast Cancer
Awareness Month issue.
Because of the incredible reach of the magazine and Estée Lauder brand, pink triumphed over peach, and is now used by breast cancer
organizations around the world.
Have You Considered
Leaving A Legacy?
Have you considered leaving a Legacy to your lodge, St. John's Lodge No 2? If you have, please make sure that St. John's Lodge No 2
is included in your Wills and Trusts so that your legacy can continue to help promote Freemasonry in the State of Delaware
long after you have left your brethren behind. Freemasonry in Delaware has just celebrated its 200th anniversary. With your
help, maybe it can celebrate its 300th one day.
Having cancer does make you try to be better at everything you do and enjoy every movement. It changes you forever. But it can be a positive change.
