Picture Perfect Theme

Create a “Picture Yourself Healthy” campaign. Design and display posters with the saying “Take a picture that could save your life—a mammogram”. Obtain several large picture frames. Then have people submit photos of loved ones. Attach the words “What We Live For” to each frame and place multiple photos inside. Spread out “Get The Facts About Breast Health” Slideguides and “Mammograms… A Few Minutes For A Lifetime” Sticky Pads on tables. Hang the frames above the tables.

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.

Lifesaving Gift

In October, let your employees or volunteers know that “a mammogram is a gift to yourself and your family.” Cover doors inside your building with pink wrapping paper. Stick pink bows all over, on cubicles, computers, etc. Cut giant gift tags out of large pieces of paper and write on them, “Gift To Self...Mammogram.” Then hang tags on the walls. Reward people who have had a mammogram in the last 12 months by giving them a gift, such as a Mini Awareness Tote or Awareness Mouse Pad. Encourage more women to schedule mammograms by passing out “Mammograms...A Gift To Yourself & Your Family” Emery Boards.
