Mayor Shane Taylor proclaimed October 2025 as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month for the town of Oakland during the Sept. 23 commission meeting.
Taylor said the designation highlights early detection and community support, noting that breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States and affects about one in eight women during their lifetime.
