CUERO – TDCJ Clarence N. Stevenson unit came together in a wave of pink, standing united in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From offices to classrooms, staff lit up with compassion and purpose during their annual “Pink Out Day.“

October is more than just a month on the calendar—it’s a call to action. Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S., and early detection remains one of the most powerful tools we have. By wearing pink, we not only raise awareness but also send a message of hope and solidarity to those currently battling the disease, those who have survived it, and the families who carry the memory of loved ones lost.

👚 The amazing team at TDCJ Clarence N. Stevenson unit showed up in full force, dressed head-to-toe in pink—from bold shirts and hats to creative accessories and heartfelt messages. The energy was uplifting, the smiles contagious, and the commitment unmistakable.

Each photo captured the spirit of the day: coworkers linking arms, survivors sharing stories, and teams posing proudly in their pink gear.  The event served as both a celebration and a reminder: awareness leads to action, and action leads to change.

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women in the U.S., and the second-leading cause of cancer death—just behind lung cancer.

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close this October, the urgency doesn’t fade. Let’s keep up the fight—not just with pink shirts, but with action. Awareness, early detection, and education are our strongest weapons against one of the deadliest threats to women’s health. Every screening scheduled, every story shared, and every conversation sparked helps push back against the statistics. Because in communities like ours, solidarity isn’t seasonal—it’s a promise we carry forward.
