In celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many restaurants in Miami have joined in to support the cause. Throughout the month of October, a lot of restaurants in Miami will debut their most creative dishes and drinks to show support for the 30th anniversary this year of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Some of the restaurants will offer month-long taste of pink.
As reported in the Miami New Time, the restaurants are said to add a touch of pink in one or more of their dishes to celebrate the success acquired over the last 30 years in raising awareness about the disease.
Breast Awareness Month was a campaign founded by the American Cancer Society and the pharmaceutical division of Imperial Chemical Industries in 1985. The latter is now part of AstraZeneca which manufactures some of the breast cancer drugs. To show their support, the Miami spots have put in a little bit of spin to their offerings.
