Campaign kicks off in October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Committed to making a difference in the world around them, BBYO teen leaders will be working hand-in-hand with Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz’s (D- FL) office to support her proposed bill, The EARLY Act—legislation advocating breast cancer awareness and early detection education. Through a series of awareness campaigns and events, BBYO will make The EARLY Act an integral part of its service and advocacy agenda through its new Stand Up for Those in Need Campaign.
The EARLY Act provides BBYO teens hands-on experience with real policy work on an issue that is vitally important, particularly due to the increased risk for the disease in Jewish women. Througout the year, several national initiatives will take place such as:
• A letter writing campaign to Congress to help push the legislation.
• Educational programs to teach teens about the dangers of breast cancer.
• A ‘Think Pink’ gala at BBYO’s International Convention in February to give back to the cause and raise awareness for young women and men.
The goal of these programs is make sure that our youth are proactive in the fight against breast cancer. Education is the key to fighting this deadly disease, as outlined in the EARLY Act.
“It feels wonderful to raise awareness about something that means so much for so many,” said Ilana Avergun, 17, from Rockville, MD. “Because this legislation is focused on young people, it is important that we get out and do something to help spread the word.”
