Partnership Community Action Week

Show your support for breast cancer awareness and advocacy: organize an activity during our first Partnership Community Action Week, May 24-30, 2009


The U.S.-Middle East Partnership for Breast Cancer Awareness and Research is proud to announce the first Partnership Community Action Week. This May, women and men from across the Middle East and North Africa who care about breast cancer will come together to make their voices heard. A few people can make a major impact. By holding a series of local activities on the importance of breast cancer awareness, early detection, and screening, we can collectively show our strength. Here’s how you can get involved:

1.) Organize or join an activity in your community: Your action can be anything-- gather a group of your friends together at your home, office, or in a public place. The more people that get involved the better!

2.) Promote your event: You can post your event announcement on the Partnership network, on your organization’s website, your personal Facebook page, on community bulletin boards—anywhere people will see it.

3.) Host your activity and take photos: We can then share your results with the entire Partnership Network (bcpartnership.ning.com).

4.) Be recognized: The most creative actions we hear about (photos and video really help tell your story) will be featured on our website. We also are exploring other ways to recognize your efforts, so stay tuned!
