2023.10.7 Caring for Women’s Health — Glac Biotech Joins Taiwan Cancer Foundation’s Pink Walk

Share to

On October 7, the streets filled with energy and purpose. Thousands of participants, dressed in shades of pink, walked together for a cause greater than themselves: raising awareness of women’s health and the fight against breast cancer. Among them was Glac Biotech, not just as a sponsor, but as an active partner committed to corporate social responsibility.
The event, hosted by the Taiwan Cancer Foundation, drew more than a thousand participants who joined the “Pink Walk,” showing solidarity and care for women across the nation. For Glac, this wasn’t just sponsorship — it was a heartfelt action to stand beside women and remind everyone that health must be a daily practice, not an afterthought.

Why Breast Cancer Awareness Matters
The statistics are sobering. According to Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with peak incidence between ages 45 and 69. Nearly 200 out of every 100,000 women are diagnosed annually, meaning over 10,000 Taiwanese women face breast cancer each year. It is now the leading cancer for women in Taiwan and the fourth highest cause of cancer-related deaths.
What’s even more concerning is the trend: compared to Western countries, Taiwanese women are being diagnosed at younger ages — nearly a decade earlier on average. Lifestyle and dietary changes have played a part, making prevention and awareness more urgent than ever.

Glac Biotech Walks the Talk
That urgency is why Glac Biotech stepped forward. By supporting the Pink Walk, Glac not only funded the event but also joined the Foundation in advocating for breast cancer prevention and education. On-site, Glac’s team engaged participants with probiotic education, shared how gut and overall health are connected, and hosted social activities like photo check-in gifts — turning awareness into a lively, shared experience.
This wasn’t just about brand presence. It was about embodying the company’s belief that corporate responsibility means walking hand-in-hand with the community — literally.

A Responsibility That Goes Beyond Business
For years, Glac Biotech has invested in the science of functional probiotics, ensuring safety and efficacy through full supply-chain quality control. But just as important, the company has continuously sought to translate its scientific strength into public good.
By walking with the people, Glac reminded the public that probiotics are not just about digestive health — they are part of a broader philosophy: that health must be nurtured daily, with science, care, and awareness woven into life.

As the sun set on the October event, the crowd’s cheers carried more than joy. They carried a promise — that together, companies, communities, and individuals can raise awareness, prevent disease, and a healthier future for all.
