October is breast cancer awareness month, bringing focused
attention to the mission of finding a cure for this global disease. The Postal
Service supports this mission by continuing to offer the Breast Cancer Research
semipostal stamp.
Since its
introduction on July 29, 1998, the Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamp has
raised more than $75 million. The proceeds are distributed between the National
Institutes for Health and the Medical Research Program at the Department of
Defense in support of breast cancer research.
