Pink Ribbon Brunch

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Woman of Stature hosts an annual event to honour those who have succumbed to this dreaded disease and to celebrate the survivors.
Dr Carol-Ann Benn is considered to be one of the top breast cancer experts in South Africa. Dr Benn and former Elite/Springbok Athlete and breast can survivor Nicole Fuller will be our guest speakers.
The event includes a delicious English Buffet Brunch at the Higher Ground Restaurant at St Stithians College in Bryanston.
Proceeds raised from this event will be donated to the Breast Health Foundation, founded by Dr Carol-Ann Benn.
The Breast Health Foundation (BHF), is a Not for Profit established in April 2002 in conjunction with several companies and organisations to educate the public on breast cancer and breast health, increase awareness and empower women.
Since it’s inception, the BHF has developed into a transparent and effective organisation which reaches our nation’s women. The money that is raised is used to teach women – those who have had and those who have not had breast cancer – to spread the word of the importance of self-examination and medical examinations. The BHF aims to put to rest myths surrounding breast cancer and to provide an open forum where women feel that they can come forward with their problems. Traditionally, women in Africa have been seen as the heart and soul of the family. By ensuring their health and by educating them, the health education messages are passed on to children, husbands and partners.
