DOWNTOWN EVENTS FOR BREAST

CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

The Pink Promise October 1-7 at the Providence Place Mall.

One in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Sign the Pink Promise, and for each one posted in Pink Promise Zone Providence Place will donate $1 to benefit Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation in the fight to make this statistic a thing of the past!

The village consists of several tents, each with a different focus: Education & Wellness Pavilion allows RIers to meet and learn from representatives of area hospitals and health care providers. The Interactive Health Zone features free health screenings and innovative health and wellness products. The Garden of Hope highlights the Gemma Foundation’s new horticultural therapy program. The Mastery Amphitheater will include the popular “Breaking Boards for Breast Cancer,” demonstrations. The Healing Arts Pavilion is a chance for visitors to contribute to the Foundation’s Starfish Project, a massive ongoing participatory public art installation. The Kitchen Stadium also opens at noon and will include healthy cooking demonstrations by local vendors, two appearances by Michelle Ragussis of “Food Network Star” fame—one at 1pm and another at 4pm—and the official launch of a Foundation-published and survivor-penned cookbook, A Gem of a Cookbook.
