All items were big hits with participants and hospital staff, a representative said.

Engage social media users in learning the facts about breast cancer

Honor breast cancer patients and survivors within a church congregation and the surrounding community

Deaconesses delivered bags to those church members who weren’t at the service that day, and all other goody bags were distributed to other breast cancer patients and survivors in the community.
Increase attendance at a breast cancer support group
