Pink week at peac

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and we’ve been celebrating here at PEAC with a variety of classes and events to bring awareness to this cause. We have a few members and staff that have been affected by breast cancer in different ways so we wanted to do something special to commemorate those that have passed and support those who are fighting. 

The BCRC helps women affected by breast cancer by answering the tough questions and decision-making that may arise during this time. They also help provide support through mentoring, fitness and wellness activities, transportation to treatment and much more. 

Their center is located on a peaceful nature preserve minutes from downtown Princeton and is a unique non-clinical environment. They are also dedicated to bringing awareness and understanding of the disease to the community. 

Here are a few stats about the impact they have had: 

In 2018 they:

• Drove more than 15,000 miles while providing over 50 women with transportation while navigating treatment
• Had over 125 fitness and wellness program participants
• Had over 195 wig, prosthesis, and bra participants
• Had over 65 support group and private counseling participants
• Reached over 5,000 individuals through their outreach & education program

We are honored to be presenting them with a check today, thanks to the generosity of all of our members! We present them with this check in remembrance of a dear member, Kay Hutchison, who sadly passed away from Breast cancer. With your help, during this month we have raised $1425. Thanks again for all of your support!
