Mother’s Day With Breast Cancer Foundation Event

To celebrate Mother’s Day, Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF), in collaboration with various partners such as CNP Cosmetics and SAFRA Mount Faber, has planned a series of events and activities to help you make this Mother’s Day an extra special one. The events are also designed to raise awareness about breast cancer and highlight the importance of early detection through regular screening.

1. Go for a Free* Mammogram Screening with the Community Mammobus Programme (Feb 2018 – 29 Jan 2019)

BCF Community Mammobus Programme

It’s time for you to be the naggy long-winded well-meaning “Mum” in the relationship by reminding Mummy to go for a mammogram screening. You might very well know this fact but Mummy should also be aware that 1 in 14 women will develop breast cancer before the age of 75. However, early detection through regular screening can save lives, as the survival rates of women who are diagnosed in Stage 1 of breast cancer is 96.1 percent1!

Put your love and concern into action by bringing her along for a mammogram screening!

Launched in February 2018, the Community Mammobus Programme is a collaborative effort between BCF, Singapore Cancer Society (SCS), and National Healthcare Group Diagnostics (NHGD) that seeks to provide funding assistance to make mammogram screenings more affordable (read: FREE for first-time screeners*!) for women.

Screenings on board the Mammobus cost between $0 to $35 for women who are eligible* (get the screening done together with your Mum as well if you’re aged 40 and above).

The Mammobus will be coming to these locations listed below. Please also note that slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis and pre-registrations are required.

2. Pamper Mummy dearest with a Beauty and Skincare Workshop (11 May 2018)

Treat your mother by taking part in a free Beauty and Skincare Workshop together! Alfred Tan, Senior Marketing & Communications Manager from Korea’s leading derma skincare cosmetics brand, CNP Laboratory, will be sharing basic skincare steps, as well as the ingredients to look out for and avoid when purchasing skincare products. The workshop will also share tips on how you can care for sensitive and easily-stimulated skin types in general (cancer survivors would find this particularly useful as their skin type would change during post-chemotherapy/cancer treatment).
