- Participate in awareness events. We regularly form teams to participate in annual events like the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides For Breast Cancer" and the "Relay for Life"; The Susan G. Komen Foundation's "Race for the Cure"; and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Light up the Night" events.

OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICE:
- Made sack lunches and delivered them to a local shelter for distribution to the homeless.
Helped the American Cancer Society make breast health necklaces. These necklaces had different sized beads representing the size of tumors if discovered at different stages, thereby encouraging early detection through a powerful visual.
Send greetings, posters and other small tokens to those we know suffering from the disease.
