Going Pink with a Purpose

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and MarineMax is proud to stand with this important cause. On Thursday, October 10, we’re joining the American Cancer Society’s Power of Pink Day to #GoPinkWithAPurpose. This initiative aims to raise awareness about breast cancer and promote the importance of regular screenings. We encourage everyone to take a moment to educate themselves and support those who have yet to be screened.

Breast Cancer Facts

According to the Breast Cancer Fact & Figures 2024-2025 report from the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that 310,720 people will be diagnosed with new cases of breast cancer in 2024 and 2,790 of those will occur in men. Additionally, there are currently over 4 million survivors in the U.S. living with a history of breast cancer, and approximately 165,000 patients are managing metastatic breast cancer.

Savings Lives Through Early Detection

Research proves that early detection is crucial for saving lives, and MarineMax is dedicated to the health and wellness of our team members and customers. We encourage regular breast cancer screenings starting as early as age 40 and recommend discussing individual screening options with your healthcare provider. MarineMax is proud to support the work and research of the American Cancer Society by donating and participating in the #GoPinkWithAPurpose initiative at our store locations. Join us in raising awareness by wearing pink on October 10, and visit the American Cancer Society or Making Strides online to discover other impactful ways to get involved.

With your support, we can make a significant difference in the fight against breast cancer. For more information on this event or ways to help, please contact your local MarineMax.
