The theme for this event is the prevalence or incidence of breast cancer in 2023 and the modifiable breast cancer risk factors. Participants will receive free breast cancer awareness literature and a list of opportunities for a free screening.
The foundations are inviting all women 18 years and older to attend on a Positive Note so that they can be informed on several factors that can influence the prevalence of breast cancer and the modifiable risk factors that individuals can work on to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer.
