Yakkers Honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The month of October is filled with so much excitement.

For me, this month is bittersweet - because for me, October isn’t about the discounted candy and the pumpkin spice lattes (although, I do indulge heavily in both). October for me is very pink. It’s filled with specialty ribbons, bracelets, T-shirts & car magnets.
