BCH Service project with CPCC (Central Piedmont Community College, Charlotte, 29th October 2024: On behalf of Breast Cancer Hub (BCH), we sincerely appreciate and thank Ms. Clare Case, for inviting BCH to collaborate.

We are highly thankful to all the students who contributed their time to the cause of BCH and volunteered to make Handwritten, creative, artistic cards for BCH patients to bring smiles to the faces of pediatric and adult cancer fighters. BCH provided all the write-up guidelines, and blank cards with templates. The cards are added to the BCH care package and given to BCH patients from North Carolina and across the USA as a gesture of love and care for our patients.

To generate awareness among the faculty and students, we also distributed BCH brochures with the QR codes to download the Breast Self Exam cards in 24 languages for Her and Him, Early detection cards for other prevalent cancers, created by BCH, and contact information so that any suspicious case can reach out to me later. A wristband and a keyring with combination colors of pink representing breast cancer in women, blue representing breast cancer in men, and purple inclusive of all genders and all cancers along with bookmarks symbolizing different ribbon colors as we fight against all types of Cancers, with the message of togetherness were also given to the community to provide awareness and education. We also provided BCH handcrafted essential Patient care package that contains Breast Cancer Surgery (also applicable for other cancers), heart-shaped pillow with a pocket to insert cold or hot pack providing comfort and healing, specialized Chemo port Seat Belt pillows to wear in the Car while seated, and Soft Hats for irritated scalp from chemo, beneficial for patients, along with handmade cards.

With gratitude,

Dr Lopamudra Das Roy
