Outreach
During the first 18 months of the organization’s existence, the LBHN has assembled and distributed hundreds of “Pink Awareness Bags” containing critical information to the newly diagnosed. These contain a lot of important information resources such as lists of local support groups and recovery pamphlets, just to name a few. The bags have been placed throughout Loudoun County at health centers, oncology centers, and doctors’ offices. LBHN members have also taken part in health fairs, and provided talks to local social and civic groups.
The LBHN holds quarterly meetings, open to the general public, that provides updates on fundraising activities and a guest speaker program designed to provide the latest information on cutting edge technology from practicing doctors and research scientists.
