During the Pink October awareness month, various organizations and individuals in Germany and Greece have launched initiatives to promote breast cancer prevention and early detection.

In Germany, the SWD powervolleys Düren volleyball team wore pink during Ligacup matches to draw attention to the cause. Additionally, moderator Tanja Bülter shared her personal experience surviving a breast cancer diagnosis to highlight the importance of screening.

In Greece, the Olympiacos women’s football team held a symbolic training session to promote health education. During this campaign, breast surgeon Fioriota Poulakaki discussed preventative measures, noting that while ultrasound is a primary tool for younger women, mammograms become essential for those aged 35 and older.
