Although October, the official month to promote breast cancer awareness is still months away, you can start preparing the blueprint and flowchart for the road ahead. Every year, in October, countless people don the pink colour, whether in apparel, hats, logos, monograms or badges to honour breast cancer survivors and victims.
The colour pink is a symbol of awareness and support for cancer patients. If you a pink ribbon, you know that stands for Cancer Support. Support programs include people living with the disease and also those who have succumbed to it.
Get your script ready
While the promotional, theoretical and knowledge-centric awareness is surely a great idea and does reap a lot of respects and lofty words from people, nothing is as effective as starting Cancer Financial Support to substantiate your Cancer Support endeavours.
Start with the simplest sources:
Do remember that you’re here to make a difference and even if you find it difficult to raise money yourself, you can surely volunteer for the cause. To begin with, you can organize a fundraiser, which is one of the best ways to spread awareness and also collect money for patients’ treatment.
There are many cancer victims who are facing a daunting task to afford the plethora of chemo and radiation therapies. Fundraisers are a great way to express solidarity for cancer victims and also render them immediate help. You can also organize a fundraiser in memory of cancer patients. Keep the elaborations and arrangements to a minimum in this regard.
Volunteering is important:
Look up the internet or check your newspapers. There should be a good number of non-profit organizations that focus on the disease and aim to spread awareness about it. These Cancer Support bodies provide great volunteering platforms. If you can’t or don’t want to put your finances in the mix, you can surely lend your effort and time to the financial support program.
The main directive:
For non-profit organizations, brain power, labor and logistics are equally crucial as monetary aid. You can form small groups to visit malls, houses, and hospitals to organize small road functions. Arrange these events properly and prepare the presentation in quick time in case of road shows. You can distribute medical journals, leaflets, posters and other materials to general folks.
Explore all the options:
You may be a leader or employer, senior staff or a departmental head. You can ask your team members or followers to donate generously. Also you can host a bake sale. It’s never out of fashion. Organize the party at your office, any hall or workshop, or any other venue that has the space to accommodate large congregations. You can ask your folks to make baked items and sell them. You can make pink ribbons, badges and balloons, and sell them.
Pick your location
Target areas in proximity to famous retail malls or supermarkets as these areas have a steady influx of people throughout the day. You will never run out of traffic. You can then donate the money you get from sales to the support program.
