Postal Service employees across the nation did their part to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
In many USPS workplaces, employees touted the Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamp, which has raised about $98 million since its introduction in 1998, and participated in events designed to promote breast cancer screenings and early detection.
It was also a time to show your spirit by wearing pink, the color associated with breast cancer awareness.
At USPS headquarters in Washington, DC, employees from several departments wore pink and gathered for a group photo organized by Tina Collington, an administrative assistant in Operations Integration and Performance Excellence who is a one-year survivor of stage 2 triple negative breast cancer, an aggressive form of the disease.
“This cause is very close to my heart,” Collington said. “By sharing our photo, I hope to help raise awareness, encourage others and show the unity and support across our postal family.”
