HAPPY BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH EVERYONE!
*pops champagne bottles and runs off in celebration*
Back to the topic at hand October is a month where most countries in the world observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM). Even in good old Singapore, from shopping malls to parks to beaches to grocery stores, it’s not an uncommon sight to see women with some form of pink in their dress-up repertoire. With BCAM currently in full swing, let’s take a look at some of the breast cancer-related events that are running concurrently.
1. Pink Ribbon Party
One for the ladies. Round up your girlfriends for one of the most fabulous parties in town – THE PINK RIBBON PARTY!
Party for a good cause as you contribute to the prevention and control of breast cancer. Sit back and relax to music arranged by DJ Ginette Chittick and be enthralled by the fashion show brought to you by Envy.
Did I mention the travel voucher worth $800 from Jetstar? Good food, good music AND a grand prize? Sign me up already.
Date: 23 Oct, Sat
Time: 7.30pm to 10.00pm
Venue: Velvet Underground @ Zouk
2. Special Rate for mammogram screening
To encourage more women to go for their mammograms, the good folks at the National Healthcare Group Diagnostics (NHGD) and Diagnostic Radiology at SingHealth Polyclinics will be offering $10 discount off the usual price of a mammogram. If the discount isn’t enough for you, they’re giving away coupons and Guardian Pharmacy vouchers. This offer is valid throughout the whole month of October.
Date: 1st – 31st Oct 2010
Time: As per operating hours
Venue: Any SingHealth Polyclinic
3. Nutrition After Breast Cancer and Cooking Demonstration

Time: 10am-12pm (Session 1); 2-4 pm (Session 2)

Celebrity Chef Philip Chia will share tips on eating right after breast cancer diagnosis. He will show the audience how to prepare simple and healthy dishes. Might I add that admission is FREE.
So many events, so little time. Excuse me while I make my way down now. Now where did I put my pink ribbon pin-up…..
