What's Happening! | Breast Cancer in the News | Annual Events What's Happening October 2008 October is ... National Breast Cancer Awareness Month Saturday, October 25, 2008 People Living Through Cancer’s 18th Annual Breast Cancer Candlelight Vigil will be held at 6:00 pm at Congregation Albert at 3800 Louisiana Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM. The program starts at 6 pm and will be guided by Mary Molina Mescall, Executive Director, NM Commission on the Status of Women. Karen Roskovensky, Survivor and PLTC Support Group Facilitator, and Franchon Wetsel, Survivor, will be the featured speakers. The Vigil honors breast cancer survivors, those who have died, and their families, friends and caregivers. Lights of Life symbolize the hope we have for both the women and men living with breast cancer and for a future in which cancer is prevented or cured. Each luminaria has the name of a person who has been touched by breast cancer. A tree will be set up in the vestibule and will be decorated by ribbons tied to the branches by participants who wish to remember a friend or relative touched by breast cancer. A reception with light refreshments rounds out the evening. If you are interested in purchasing a Light of Life and Hope, for a suggested donation of $10.00 each, please call PLTC at (505) 242-3263. Sunday, April 26, 2009 American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Cancer is a fundraising activity for breast cancer. In Albuquerque, Making Strides will be held April 26, 2009. |
