Breast Cancer Awareness Event Planning Idea Guide: fun games

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.

About This Blog

Each October, organizations at national and local levels unite to educate the public about breast cancer, especially the life-saving benefits of breast cancer screenings. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) has spread beyond healthcare facilities and support groups; it is now being celebrated in companies, schools, and churches. The event began in 1985 as a week-long push for more communication about this disease. It involved brochures, news reports, and testimony to Congress on the importance of mammography. The cause gained momentum when former First Lady Betty Ford, a breast cancer survivor, and her daughter Susan Ford Bales addressed the issue on television.

Positive Promotions has products designed to get the word out. We also offer items for fundraising and gifts for thanking supporters. A portion of the proceeds from this catalog is donated to the ACS. Another way we help the cause is by gathering event ideas through our annual contest and sharing them. Here’s wishing you an outstanding National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
