Pink Day was celebrated across Iceland today, bringing together communities and workplaces to show solidarity with people who have cancer and to raise awareness about the fight against the disease, according to RÚV and Vikublaðið.
Pink Day is the main event of the Icelandic Cancer Society’s annual Pink Ribbon campaign, which runs throughout October. The campaign is both an awareness effort and a fundraising initiative.
The pink colour stood out all over the country today, especially in schools and workplaces where many wore pink clothing and displayed decorations. The event saw broad participation and strong support in many communities, RÚV reported.
Airport security staff at Flugvernd and employees at Freeport took part in Pink Day activities, Vikublaðið reported.
