Breast Cancer Awareness month is October so that is a good time for a special activity or event to support the cause. Breast Cancer is a concern on people’s hearts at all times of the year though because it affects people and loved ones all the time, so you don’t really need to wait until October to focus on Breast Cancer Awareness if you don’t want to wait.
This theme can be used to focus on Breast Cancer during meetings, to use for activities, to hold a party in honor of those surviving the disease, or to hold a community dinner or event highlighting Breast Cancer.
Breast Cancer Awareness Theme Concept

The event themes on the website can be used for showers, parties, women’s ministry retreats and activities, or church functions. Each theme will have one or several possible spiritual applications. For each theme, I give you lots of info and ideas—You pick just a few to enhance your event. More ideas can be used for showers and parties, but less is always more for ministry events.
