Event Ideas
- Educational Seminar: Organize a presentation by plastic surgeons, breast surgeons, nurse specialists and other medical professionals on topics such as breast reconstruction options, timing for surgery and the latest advances.
- Art Contest and Raffle: Ask breast cancer survivors to design a bra and auction them off.
- Spa Day: Ask a local salon to support a day of spa services for breast cancer patients.
- Question and Answer Panel: Invite plastic surgeons, breast cancer survivors and patients who have undergone mastectomy and breast reconstruction to be part of a panel where members of the community can freely ask questions about breast reconstruction.
- "Show and Tell" Intimate Event: Approach smaller breast cancer support groups to host a breast cancer survivor who has undergone mastectomy and breast reconstruction to speak to the group and, if comfortable, show the women what reconstruction looks like.
- Advertising Campaign: Develop a poster or signage with a clear message, relevant images and supporting statistics. Have the image posted on the sides of a bus, in store windows, etc.
- Patient Appreciation Lunch: Host a fundraising or complimentary lunch to honor your breast reconstruction patients. Invite their friends, family and supporters.
