Positive in Pink - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As all of you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we just wanted to show you what some companies are doing to show their support.  This is an important cause to us because unfortunately breast cancer has touched, in some way or another, just about every person we know.  But everyday there are great strides taken to help rid the world of this disease.
