October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month #ROSTAMIKOS
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month worldwide. At Bevolkingsonderzoek Caribisch Nederland, we also take this time to reflect on the impact that breast cancer has on our community. Our thoughts are with everyone who is currently fighting, has overcome, or has lost someone to this disease.
Initiatives Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, various activities are being organized:
- Friday, October 17
As a sign of support and awareness, on Friday, October 17th, we will wear something pink: the color of the fight against breast cancer. Will you join us? - Wednesday, October 22
In collaboration with Fundashon Mariadal, we are organizing a special walk-in day for women between the ages of 50 and 75 on Wednesday, October 22nd. Between 08:00 AM and 12:00 noon. Women are welcome without an appointment for a mammogram (X-ray of the breasts). - Friday, October 31
We conclude the month with an enjoyable and educational evening on Friday, October 31st, from 06:00 PM until 09:00 PM. During this event, we will provide information about breast cancer screening in an informal setting. The evening is combined with the popular game ‘Bon Ku Ne’. Fun and awareness go hand in hand!
You can register for the event on Friday, October 31st. The location and further details of the event are shared with you after registration. Registration is open until Sunday, October 26th.
