To: BWLC Membership

From: Alicia Hughes, Director of Community Involvement

On behalf of the BWLC Executive Board, Extended Board and BWLC Constituency, we want to say Thank You! This was our first year participating as a group in the fight against Breast Cancer. So, thank you for your time, donations, and effort by participating in Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Many of you participated in selling Women of Color Pins or locally sponsored events such as the Witness Project (Girlfriend’s Brigade) or the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. BWLC was able to raise $5,260 from the Breast Care Awareness Pin Fundraiser and Volunteer Breast Cancer Walk!

Take some time and view new faces and familiar faces in the photos from local chapter activities across the BWLC constituency on our website (www.bwlc.com)!

Our plan is to participate in Breast Care Awareness Month next year. So please share your thoughts and ideas on ways we can increase the fun and boost participation.
Thank you for making a difference, making BWLC history, and raising awareness about Breast Cancer!

Thank You,
Alicia
