Breast Cancer Awareness Week 2024
October 16-18, 2024 at University of the Pacific
VN CARES hosted a successful Breast Cancer Awareness Week, where members of VN CARES actively engaged with students to spread vital information about breast cancer, the 1st most common cancer. Our tabling session was an integral part of this effort, offering educational materials to students on early detection, risk factors, and the importance of regular screenings. Alongside this, we organized a sticker donation drive, where all proceeds went to the American Cancer Society to support research and patient care initiatives.
​
To further our outreach, VN CARES shared a series of informative posts on our Instagram, aimed at educating the wider community about breast cancer prevention, treatment options, and the latest advancements in research. A highlight of the week was our speaker event, where knowledgeable guest speakers provided in-depth insights on the impact of breast cancer and the importance of awareness in combating the disease.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in our events and contributed to this cause. Your support not only helped raise awareness but also made a meaningful impact on breast cancer research and education.
