Pinktober Brunch shines light on breast cancer awareness

In commemoration of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, State Representative Lisa Dunkley is set to host a vibrant Pinktober Brunch at the exquisite Chateau Mar Hotel in Lauderhill on Saturday, October 28.

This meaningful gathering will feature esteemed guest speakers who will enlighten and uplift our community members affected by breast cancer.

The Pinktober Brunch serves as a vital platform to disseminate crucial information regarding breast health. Its central message underscores the significance of early detection through routine screenings and offers updates on the array of available treatments.

Representative Dunkley passionately expressed, "Eligible women in Broward County can access free breast and cervical cancer screenings, thanks to the Florida Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (formerly known as BCCI). We are determined to ensure that everyone in our community is aware of these invaluable resources. Early detection undeniably saves lives."

As a token of appreciation, all participants will enjoy a complimentary breakfast-lunch while supplies last. Furthermore, attendees will have the privilege of receiving informative materials and resources, enabling them to actively engage in raising awareness about breast cancer prevention.

The Pinktober Brunch will fortify the community's resolve to combat breast cancer and promote a future filled with hope, health, and vitality.
