Pierre Fabre Laboratories and Know Your Lemons Foundation Join Forces

In a significant move to enhance education and awareness about breast cancer, Pierre Fabre Laboratories has officially partnered with the Know Your Lemons Foundation. This collaboration coincides with October, recognized globally as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The initiative underscores their dedication to promoting early detection and accessible education regarding the disease, aiming to empower individuals in understanding the warning signs of breast cancer.

The Know Your Lemons Foundation: A Unique Approach

Founded in 2014 by Corrine Ellsworth Beaumont, the Know Your Lemons Foundation emerged from a personal journey intertwined with public health communication. The organization uses a compelling metaphor of lemons to illustrate various symptoms of breast cancer, where each lemon represents a specific sign. This innovative approach has been instrumental in reaching diverse audiences and has significantly contributed to breast cancer education worldwide.

The foundation has gained international recognition, especially after it was awarded in 2025 at the Webby Awards for its commitment to excellence online. With over a billion people engaged across more than 100 countries, the organization thrives thanks to a dedicated team of over 800 volunteers, affectionately known as "lemonistas," who strive to educate more than 50,000 individuals on breast cancer detection each year. Notably, the foundation's resources are accessible in more than 30 languages, showcasing its commitment to inclusivity and broad impact.

Mobilizing Global Awareness through Events

To maximize the outreach and effect of this partnership, Pierre Fabre Laboratories plans a month full of interactive educational events. Throughout October, various activities will be organized to enhance understanding and promote early detection of breast cancer. This includes hosting webinars, creating multilingual brochures targeted towards different local communities, and distributing exclusive t-shirts emblazoned with the twelve warning signs of breast cancer.

Employees of Pierre Fabre are encouraged to take part in this campaign actively, wearing the t-shirts and sharing insights about breast health awareness on social media platforms. "At Pierre Fabre Laboratories, we firmly believe that health education can transform lives. Our collaboration with the Know Your Lemons Foundation symbolizes our commitment to support individuals everywhere in better understanding the signs of breast cancer and acting timely. By joining forces, we enhance prevention efforts and empower everyone to take charge of their health," shares Nuria Perez-Cullell, Medical Director and Patient Lead at Pierre Fabre Laboratories.
