Not just the trees are being fashionably adorned to raise awareness of breast cancer and funds to support cancer patients. September through October – earrings, bracelets and headscarves or doeke are also available to support this colourfully pink campaign.
If you don’t feel like wrapping a tree (R30 p/m), hang matching ornaments from your ears and wrist (R50), bedazzle with stainless steel earrings (R100 p/pair), or ‘use your doek for a new look’ (R100) or even as a colourful table runner.
Funds raised through Pink Trees for Pauline help CANSA support the patients who are most vulnerable in the community. Families are empowered to take care of cancer patients at home, and medical equipment and food parcels are distributed to needy patients identified by social workers.
