The Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation offers a Speakers Bureau Program, Stay Abreast, as an important, free tool for educating Virginians on the facts, issues and truth about breast cancer. Stay Abreast features a trained volunteer sharing:
- Speaker’s personal story about how they have been affected by breast cancer
- Basic facts about breast health and anatomy
- Statistics related to breast cancer
- Risk factors for breast cancer
- Detection methods for finding breast cancer
- How every Virginian can be an advocate for their health
- Ways individuals can help influence state and national legislation concerning breast cancer
Stay Abreast can be tailored to fit different audiences to give relevant, up-to-date information. Groups who have had a VBCF speaker include:
- Organizations/Businesses
- Church Groups
- Support Groups
- Women’s/Men’s Groups
- House Parties
- Young Women’s Groups, such as sororities
- Any other group ready to learn more about breast cancer
