If you're a business owner and you're looking for ways to support breast cancer, there're many ways you can help the cause and encourage other to do so. If you don't have a big budget don't worry, there're many alternatives and you don't need to break your check account to do it.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it's the perfect opportunity for you to be part of this global movement and give back to your community. Below some ideas that may help you in getting creative and choose the best one for your company.
- You can add a recorded message to your phone lines that gives facts about breast cancer, ideas for how to support research, or tips on self checks. You probably can get a doctor to record the message for free.
- Organize an educational event for your employees, customers, or the public in general that talks about how early detection can make the disease more survivable.
- Silent auctions are a great way to have fun while raising money for breast cancer awareness. Ask employees to donate items, and then allow them to bid on each other’s items. You can also ask that they donate time or talents.
- Sporting tournaments are another popular idea, such as golf or tennis for example. Players pay a participation fee, and the money is then donated to a breast cancer research group. Participants can receive breast cancer pins and certificates thanking them for their donation, and winners should receive some type of prize.
- One of the simplest ways to raise awareness is through pink ribbon pins. You can sell the pins to employees or customers to raise money, and then donate the money.
