The Problem

I was trying to raise awarness in my commnity about Breast Cancer, and raise money to help the Sister Network which is a foundation that help aware women and trys to find the cure for Breast Cancer.

Plan of Action

What my mother and I did was since i was little I always wanted a Sweet 16 birthday party for when i turn 16. So my mom combined my birthday party with a Breast Cancer funraiser to give a big donaion to the Sister Network Incorporated. And my birthday was during October which was Breast Cancer Awarness month, it was all perfect. Instead of gifts I asked for monetary donation to give to the foundation. We had pamphlets, made pink ribbons with my name on it, and all kinds of stuff to get the word out. We also had a speaker from our local hospital to speak to us abou breast cancer. And to top it all off we had a van from the Beaufort Memorial Hospital come to do free mammograms before my party. It was so awsome and everybody had fun while learning alot. It was one of the best days of my life.
