October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is here, and that means it's time to break out the pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Whether you're hitting the pickleball courts or cheering from the sidelines, we can all rally together for an important cause. Early detection through regular screenings like mammograms can make all the difference, so let's spread the word!
Breast cancer affects millions, but with education, awareness, and support, we can serve up some serious help. Letβs rally for a cure and show that the pickleball community is always ready to support those in the fight. Together, we can make a difference β one game at a time!
π This month, why not rock some pink Skechers on the courts? Our friends at Skechers have provided PTS users a 10% discount code: PICKLEBALL10
