Help Paint the Menorah Campus PINK!

Summary: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!


The public is invited to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Menorah Medical Center (MMC) on Tuesday, October 6, from 4-6 p.m. in The Breast Center of Menorah Medical Center, located near Entrance B (5721 W. 119th Street).

The community is invited to help paint the Menorah campus pink – including the water fountains. Pink ribbons will be available to tie around the trees to honor courageous women everywhere and pink balloons will be released at 5:45 p.m. in celebration of those affected by breast cancer. Gail Worth of Gail's Harley-Davidson, a supporter of breast cancer causes, will be available for photos with her motorcycles; in addition, complimentary pink hair extensions, fingernail and toe art, hand and foot massages and refreshments will be available. 

Liv Aids, a heart-shaped, simple medical device from breast cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John, will be distributed to help women perform a proper and correct breast self-exam every month.

"It's essential that we take charge of our health by choosing healthy lifestyles, conducting monthly self-exams and having an annual mammogram," says Pam Handlan, Breast Center of Menorah Director. "We're all in this together. It's important that we encourage family and friends to get screened regularly."
