In 2024, more than 360,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer. But there is hope. Advancements in early detection methods and support continue to increase the chances of survival. When caught in its earliest, localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate of breast cancer is 99%.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Glenn is a proud supporter of this cause. One way we do this is fundraise charitable monies by selling t-shirts to raise awareness. We donate them to the Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation with 100% of the profits going to this organization.
