Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Curves fitness centers in the U.S. will focus on raising awareness about the life-saving importance of risk management, early detection and early treatment of breast cancer.

Because women can help reduce their risk for breast cancer by staying in good health, Curves clubs nationwide, including the following Curves clubs in the Morris area, are offering $0-joining-fee memberships from Oct. 1 through Oct. 14 to new members who show proof of a mammogram performed within the last year or who donate $25 to The American Cancer Society (ACS). In 2011, Curves clubs nationwide raised more than $1.7 million for the ACS.
