Sew Pink! 2014

Sew Pink! 2014 

It was wonderful to witness women, men and children from all walks of life working together for Breast Cancer Awareness. Over 300 volunteers worked in production lines to produce 668 mastectomy cushions and drainage bags that will be part of care packs for patients recovering from breast surgery.

The care packs distributed by Brest Friends, will offer comfort and mobility to patients, helping them keep active as they heal.

Thank you to everyone who made this event a success.
