Ways to Spread Breast Cancer
Awareness
With October recognized as National
Breast Cancer Awareness Month , many organizations involved in Breast Cancer
research will need a helping hand to promote awareness campaigns.
1. You can get involved by offering to volunteer, or by starting your own
awareness campaign in your community, but you don’t have to wait till October to
launch your project. You can begin planning your event whenever you want with
the help of many organizations dedicated to Breast Cancer research and Awareness
campaigns.
2. You can also enlist the help of your local church, PTA, or business
organization to make your project successful and get others involved. For
example, you can start by forming a committee to write a brief tip sheet on how
women can stay healthy and reduce their risk of breast cancer. A tip sheet is
generally no more than one page and lists important ideas and tips on a
particular topic.
The American Cancer Society can send
you material you can use as reference tool, if you request it. You can also
approach your local Reference librarian for sources to use to help you write the
tip sheet. Once you have completed the tip sheet, you can mail, or distribute to
members of your church, PTA, or business organization along with information on
how donations can be made to support breast cancer research.
3. Another way you can get involved is by contacting The American Cancer
Society, or The Susan B. Komen Foundation to learn about events such as Runs, or
Walks organized to raise money for Breast Cancer research. You and your
community organization, PTA, or Church can participate in these events and help
promote them by distributing flyers and brochures provided by The American
Cancer Society, or any organization of your choice dedicated to breast cancer
research.
If you are a small business owner, you can also make a donation in honor of some
of your preferred customers, or contacts and then follow-up by sending a note
thanking them for their patronage and also letting them know you made a donation
to honor them. Even if you are not a business owner, you can still make a
donation in honor of a loved one, as a memorial, or in honor of your Pastor, or
other leaders of your church, or your community. By being generous and reaching
out like this, you will not only be supporting the fight against Breast cancer,
but also letting others know how much you appreciate them.
