Genevieve Magazine announces its 3rd 'Genevieve Pink Ball'

IKOYI, Nigeria - Aug. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Genevieve Magazine announces its 3^rd Genevieve Pink Ball scheduled to hold on the 18^th of October 2014 to help support women both medically and financially towards the prevention and treatment of Breast Cancer. These women would be educated on how to get tested regularly and treatment will be provided to patients who have tested positive. The main mission is to advocate for increased access to care, improve treatment modalities and also increase funding for quality Breast Cancer Research.

The 100 Patient Challenge
The 3^rd Genevieve Pink Ball event is set on a very strong and impactful mission to treat over 100 affected patients. This is an initiative where interested individuals adopt a Breast Cancer patient. The adopted patients get funds targeted to cover medical expenses towards the treatment of Breast Cancer.

According to the founder and C.E.O of Genevieve Magazine, Betty Irabor,

“In Nigeria the majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer do not survive because their cancer is detected too late. Awareness is the First Step in the battle Against Breast Cancer.

Herein lies our motivation to lend our platform Genevieve Pink Ball to the cause. Our ‘100 patient challenge’ is all about further Awareness Creation, Education and giving hope to the otherwise hopeless; treatment for 100 may seem an insignificant number but it’s a good start.

The 2014 Genevieve Pink Ball is also a clarion call to ALL to lend a hand. The Government can’t do it all but together we can reduce deaths from Breast Cancer.”

History

Past history of Genevieve Magazine Pink Ball has shown the event to be a successful one. The first Pink Ball took place in 2005 and the second PinkBall was in 2009. The funds realized from the 1^st and 2^nd PinkBall were used to create programs and awareness for Breast Cancer and also the purchasing of a mammogram machine which is serviced regularly by the Genevieve PinkBall.
