Concord Afton-Sunset Rotary Club, NC

July 22, 2025: We’re deeply grateful to Pramod Joglekar for initiating this impactful event, and to Concord Afton-Sunset Rotary Club President Robert Freeman and Secretary Susan Smith for the kind invitation to speak on Breast Cancer Screening, Risk Factors, and Prevention and to share the mission of Breast Cancer Hub (BCH). It was an honor to spotlight our grassroots, sustainable programs making a life-saving impact worldwide.

We were privileged to provide the Rotary Club community with BCH’s educational materials, support group resources, and information about our handcrafted Patient Care Packages, all designed to promote early detection and bring comfort to cancer warriors.

Our sincere thanks to Vibha Joglekar for your support and to the organizers for the seamless execution.

During the outreach, we distributed brochures with QR codes for easy access to:

  • Breast Self-Exam Cards for Her and Him, in 27 languages

  • Early detection cards for various cancers

  • Details on our one-of-a-kind “BCH Know Your Breasts” App, available in 27 languages and for all genders—the first of its kind

  • Direct contact info for those seeking guidance or noticing symptoms

To amplify engagement, we shared color-coded wristbands and keyrings:

  • Pink for breast cancer in women

  • Blue for breast cancer in men

  • Purple for all cancers and all genders—symbolizing unity

We also handed out bookmarks featuring ribbon colors of various cancers, promoting awareness, inclusion, and solidarity.

We shared details about our handcrafted Patient Care Packages, lovingly created by BCH’s dedicated volunteer seamstresses. Each set included:

  • A heart-shaped pillow with a pocket for hot/cold packs for post-surgery relief

  • A Chemo Port Car Seat Belt Pillow for travel comfort

  • Soft hats for those experiencing chemo-related scalp sensitivity

  • Handmade cards with original, uplifting artwork

These gifts go beyond physical comfort—they embody hope, love, and unwavering support.

Together, we continue to raise awareness, provide support, and most importantly—save lives.

With gratitude,

Dr Lopamudra Das Roy , on behalf of Breast Cancer Hub Family
