INT. PINK HIJAB DAY: NO MATTER WHAT STYLE OR SHADE YOU PREFER, GO PINK OCTOBER 29TH
October is the month of breast cancer awareness, and with that in mind, I want you all to consider wearing a pink hijab this October 29th in solidarity and support of the women batteling this horrible cancer.
The Pink hijab day initiative started in North America, but this year we can make it an international event. Breast cancer is an issue that can affect all of us, so lets fight it. No matter where in the world you are, put your pink scarf on October the 29th.

Please support the breast cancer research by making donations to your national cancer foundation.
No matter what style or shade you prefer; go PINK October 29th

October 6, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Is it the 26th or the 29th??

Thank you so much for thinking of this. I am a survivor, and so are many friends and even customers. It’s a good reminder to be more activist to get people to engage in early detection, as well as to improve the lot of those who are currently going through treatment.

Basbousa,
Thank you so much for reminding me to give glory to God. Surely it is He Who makes the ultimate decision about the details of our lives. In the end, He decides how far a cancer will or will not go. In the end, He decides how long we will live. And all the rest. Subhanallah!
Assalaamu alaykum

We are having a pink hijab week in quebec (canada) week of Oct. 18th to 25th. I am glad to see we we are not the only ones.
5$ from every pink hijab sold will go directly to the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation. Pitch in with your friends to purchase your hijabs online… that way, you will save on shipping.
