Caring And Sharing

This year, extend the impact of your awareness campaign. Present two Punch-Out Reminder Shower Cards and one “Early Detection Saves Lives” Pink Awareness Bracelet to each person at your NBCAM events. Title your promotion the “Keep One, Share One” giveaway. Instruct recipients to keep a shower card and pass the other one on to someone else. Tell them to wear the bracelet as a reminder to talk to friends and family about breast cancer.

Flower Power

Turn an outside area into a place where members of your community can go to be refreshed, during NBCAM and all year. Set up a Garden of Hope. Sell Flower-Shaped Breast Cancer Awareness Lapel Pins and other breast cancer awareness gifts to raise money for the garden’s plants. Make signs with positive sayings. Put them, as well as big pink ribbons, in the garden. At the entrance to the garden, keep “Think Pink” Breast Care Awareness Seed Packets in a container. That way, visitors can take the packets home to have screening guidelines handy and to be able to plant their own flowers.

Moving Monument

Organize a touching display for your facility. Gather material squares, fabric paint and markers. Ask staff members and guests (or students if you’re on a campus) to make flags in memory of someone who has died of breast cancer or in support of someone who currently has the disease. Thank contributors with Pink Pencils and “Strength, Hope, Faith, Courage” Comfort Grip Pens. Fly the flags outside. For added attention, tie pink ribbons to a grapevine wreath and hang it on your facility’s front door.
