    Proclamation 10085 of September 30, 2020
    National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, 2020
    By the President of the United States of America
    A Proclamation
    During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we honor the incredible
    fortitude of breast cancer survivors and offer our heartfelt support and
    prayers to those currently battling this disease. As one Nation, we
    remember the precious lives lost to breast cancer and the families
    forever changed as a result. This month, we devote ourselves to fighting
    to eradicate breast cancer, working with conviction and compassion to
    develop treatments and find a cure.
    This year, an estimated 276,000 Americans will be diagnosed with breast
    cancer, and more than 42,000 will likely die from this terrible disease.
    Thankfully, through early detection and improved treatments, today there
    is a 90 percent five-year survival rate for women diagnosed with breast
    cancer. The First Lady and I strongly encourage all Americans to meet
    with their physicians and discuss their individual risks for breast
    cancer. Increased awareness, especially of family history and other
    common risk factors, preventive care, and regular screenings, including
    mammograms, can help save lives through early diagnosis and prompt
    treatment.
    As President, I am deeply committed to ensuring that Americans have
    access to cutting-edge treatments and life-saving medications for
    conditions like breast cancer. In 2018, I signed into law historic
    ``Right to Try''; legislation, which ensures those diagnosed with a
    terminal illness greater autonomy in choosing their treatment path and
    increases their access to potentially lifesaving drugs. My
    Administration also has taken decisive action to lower prescription drug
    prices and eliminate burdensome regulations that, for too long, undercut
    the potential of our researchers to develop innovative treatments and
    medications. We are also relentlessly committed to protecting Americans
    with pre-existing conditions, including conditions that may put someone
    at a greater risk of developing breast cancer. In the fight against this
    disease, we will continue to use every tool at our disposal to provide
    Americans with the best possible treatments and medications to save
    lives.
    This month, as we celebrate the incredible resilience of breast cancer
    survivors and remember those lost to this disease, we also pray for
    comfort and strength for those currently battling breast cancer.
    Together, united by compassion and resolve, we will continue in our
    effort to find new treatments, medications, and a cure to eradicate this
    disease from our Nation.
    NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of
    America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
    the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 2020 as
    National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Citizens, government agencies,
    private businesses, nonprofit organizations, the media, and other
    interested groups must increase awareness of what we can do to fight
    breast cancer. I also invite the Governors of the States and Territories
    and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United
    States to join me in recognizing National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
