2006 marks the 21st anniversary of this month-long event. The goal is to educate women about early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer, and the importance of annual mammograms for women over 40. Friday, Oct. 20, is National Mammography Day when women can receive free mammograms in their communities.
