Local Black Nonprofit Collabs with 21 Campuses for Breast Cancer Initiatives
October is here — and so is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Indianapolis-based nonprofit Future Black Leaders Inc. (FBL) is teaming up with 21 campuses and student organizations across the country to empower, educate, and support communities in the fight against breast cancer.
Through their annual #FBLBCAM: Pink for a Purpose campaign, FBL blends awareness with action—hosting cookouts, walks, fashion shows, and trivia nights that center health equity and the power of community.
Each event spotlights the importance of early detection and honors those whose lives have been impacted by breast cancer.
This year’s campaign lineup includes partnerships from Indiana University Bloomington, Purdue University, Tuskegee University, University of Cincinnati, Cal Poly, and more. The movement will culminate on October 30 with a Pink-4-Ever Day (Pink Out) event, uniting all campuses in a collective show of strength and solidarity.
