BCH committee with hosa in Central Cabarrus High School
Initiation of Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) Committee with HOSA Club in Central Cabarrus High School, NC, in November 2024: Thank you Ms. Alaina Townley, HOSA Club advisor, for inviting BCH to collaborate and supporting the cause. It was my immense pleasure to conduct the awareness session on November 19, 2024, so that the students can generate cancer early detection & prevention education within their network through the BCH resources provided and also explaining the BCH service projects designed to make a meaningful difference. They are not just tasks but opportunities to contribute to a cause that can change lives with no cost to be incurred by the school.
“After the session, we distributed BCH brochures with the QR codes to download the Breast Self Exam cards in 24 languages for Her and Him, Early detection cards for other prevalent cancers, created by BCH, and contact information so that any suspicious case can reach out to me later. A wristband and a keyring with combination colors of pink representing breast cancer in women, blue representing breast cancer in men, and purple inclusive of all genders and all cancers along with bookmarks symbolizing different ribbon colors as we fight against all types of Cancers, with the message of togetherness were also given to the community to provide awareness and education. We also discussed our BCH handcrafted essential Patient care package that contains Breast Cancer Surgery (also applicable for other cancers), heart-shaped pillow with a pocket to insert cold or hot pack providing comfort and healing, specialized Chemo port Seat Belt pillows to wear in the Car while seated, and Soft Hats for irritated scalp from chemo, beneficial for patients, along with expressive cards with creative artwork to bring smiles to the patients”.
With gratitude,
100% of BCH services are Free of cost and 100% of Donations are driven towards the Mission (Donor’s bucket of choice).
