We the People Unite
In the Breast Cancer Fight
Every great movement, whether social or political, has adopted a flag to increase their visibility as a unifying symbol. As men are called to the forefront of the war against breast cancer and answer the call, a flag with deep symbolic representation is not only timely, but essential for unification. We have created a flag with great consideration to all that are engaged in the war against breast directly or indirectly as fighter, survivors, co- survivor and to those who have lost the battle. Through unification and education, the war on breast cancer can be won. Although many of our loved ones have the lost the battle, we are determined to win the war.
Every detail in the flag has deep symbolism, with none being more significant than the other. The flag shows how far we have come and yet how far we have to go!
The flag elements consists of thirteen equal stripes alternating between pink, white and blue, with a white rectangle called the canton bearing a larger blue and pink breast cancer awareness ribbon. The larger ribbon represents Men For A Cause, United Against Breast CancerTM, supporting the men and women they love. The ribbon is comprised of interlaced hand of a man and of a woman, representing unity in the fight against breast cancer. The canton also includes ten, small traditional breast cancer pink ribbons encompassing the larger ribbon. These small ribbons are a salute to the youngest known breast cancer survivor, Hannah Powell-Auslam, age ten. The ribbons are displayed in a circle to represent the circle of life, and in celebration of the lives of our beloved ones who have lost the battle.
Men For A CauseTM (MFAC) is the first and only grassroots, activist nonprofit organization founded to educate, motivate and empower men in the fight against breast cancer in both women and men internationally as fighters, survivors and co-survivors.
Whether it is breast, prostate, skin or another cancer, at Men For A CauseTM, we believe that if a cure is discovered for one type of cancer, it will lead to a cure for other cancers.
