Genevieve
Magazine announces its 3rd ‘Genevieve PinkBall’ scheduled to hold on the 18th
of October 2014 to help support women both medically and financially towards
the prevention and treatment of Breast Cancer.
These
women would be educated on how to get tested regularly and treatment will be
provided to patients who have tested positive. The main mission is to advocate
for increased access to care, improve treatment modalities and also increase
funding for quality Breast Cancer Research.
The ‘100
Patient Challenge’
The 3rd
‘Genevieve PinkBall’ event is set on a very strong and impactful mission to
treat over 100 affected patients. This is an initiative where interested
individuals adopt a Breast Cancer patient. The ‘adopted’ patients get funds
targeted to cover medical expenses towards the treatment of Breast Cancer.
According
to the founder and C.E.O of Genevieve Magazine, Betty Irabor:
“In
Nigeria the majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer do not survive
because their cancer is detected too late. Awareness is the First Step in the
battle Against Breast Cancer.
Herein
lies our motivation to lend our platform Genevieve PinkBall to the cause. Our
‘100 patient challenge’ is all about further Awareness Creation, Education and
giving hope to the otherwise hopeless; treatment for 100 may seem an
insignificant number but it’s a good start.
The 2014
Genevieve PinkBall is also a clarion call to ALL to lend a hand. The Government
can’t do it all but together we can reduce deaths from Breast Cancer.”
History
Past history
of Genevieve Magazine Pink Ball has shown the event to be a successful one. The
first PinkBall took place in 2005 and the second PinkBall was in 2009. The
funds realized from the 1st and 2nd PinkBall were used to create programs and
awareness for Breast Cancer and also the purchasing of a mammogram machine
which is serviced regularly by the Genevieve PinkBall.
The
Genevieve PinkBall
‘Genevieve
Pink Ball’ for Breast Cancer Awareness is now a Foundation with singer Seyi
Shay as the PinkBall Foundation Ambassador. The objective of the Foundation is
to create a platform that creates Awareness to reduce the death rates of Breast
Cancer by Educating, Screening, Counseling and Providing Treatment for women.
The
Genevieve Pink Ball has always promoted early detection of Breast Cancer for
women over the years with very strong positive feedback we hope to continue the
good work with the help of people who believe in helping and saving others.
The
Genevieve Magazine Pink Ball will take place on the 18th of October 2014, which
is the global month of Breast Cancer Awareness, at a brand new water front
venue; The Dorchester located at Water Corporation Road off Ligali Ayorinde,
