It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month


















October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the Postal Service is reminding customers that a special stamp purchase can help fund breast cancer research.

The 60-cent Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamp is available year-round and is sold in sheets of 20. Semipostal stamps are sold at a surcharge to raise money for specific causes.

Since the Breast Cancer Research Semipostal Stamp was first issued in 1998, many innovative and specialized treatments have been developed, not only increasing survival rates but helping women thrive. In that time, this semipostal stamp has raised more than $86 million to fund breast cancer research programs across the country. Many programs that, with the funds from this stamp, were able to continue groundbreaking research.

Fund the fight. Find the cure.
