Sweet Activity

Provide an outlet for creativity while raising funds for breast cancer research by sponsoring a cake-decorating contest. When you announce the contest, let everyone know the cakes will not be returned but will instead be used for a cake walk. Have categories to compete in, such as the prettiest and the largest number of pink ribbons. Award Desktop/Travel Alarm Clocks imprinted with “Time For A Mammogram?” to the winners. Charge a fee for participation in the cake walk. Give an Embroidered Pink Ribbon to each person who pays to join in.

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.
