Black SD Magazine is working in partnership with the American Cancer Society and Maya’s Cookies to raise the needed awareness for African American women to perform breast cancer screenings early. The mortality rate for African American women is 40% higher than any other raise when diagnosed with breast cancer and that statistic doubles when they reach over the age of 50. 

For the month of October they are dedicating all their efforts to help in the fight against breast cancer by participating in the Real Men Wear Pink Challenge by raising funds for the cause, promoting early screening and at home techniques, and providing more health and wellness content via their publication and platform. Their goal is to raise over $2,500 and with your help they can accomplish that and more.
