Pink Sunday
Susan G. Komen for the Cure® has developed Pink Sunday in an effort to partner with local churches to educate congregations on breast health and breast cancer, and to raise awareness of the disease and the importance of early detection. This year, the Komen Greater Fort Worth Affiliate has designated October 17, 2010 as Pink Sunday. Pink Sunday is sponsored by The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. We invite local churches and other faith based organizations in our service area to join us in the fight against breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month by participating in Pink Sunday.
As a participating church, the women in your congregation will receive an educational packet which discusses risk factors and the critical role of early detection in saving lives from breast cancer. Be sure to encourage your congregation to wear pink to show your support, to honor survivors and celebrate their courage, and to remember those who have lost their battle with breast cancer. Use this Sunday as an opportunity to share with your friends, family members and neighbors the life-saving message of early detection.
There are many other ways you can celebrate Pink Sunday at your church:
The Greater Fort Worth Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure will provide breast health information packets, sponsored by The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders and each individual church will be responsible for designating a Pink Sunday Ambassador who will coordinate the event at their church.
Complete the Pink Sunday Survey to request packets for your place of worship.
Packets are available for congregations in the service area of the Greater Fort Worth Affiliate including Tarrant, Parker, Johnson and Hood counties.
For those who request packets before September 15th, kits will be available for pick up at the Komen Greater Fort Worth office between Monday, September 20th and Friday, October 8th, excluding weekends. You will receive an email confirming your request. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact Jeanne Ginsberg at the phone number below. Our office is located inside Ridgmar Mall between Neiman Marcus and Origins on the upper level at 2216 Green Oaks Road, Fort Worth, 76116.
