The Central & Eastern Virginia Affiliate of Susan G. Komen invites you to join us in our promise to end breast cancer forever by participating in our Worship in Pink program. Worship in Pink is a grassroots partnership with churches, synagogues, mosques, and other places of worship to open the lines of communication about breast health and promote breast cancer education. It is a day when you can celebrate and honor breast cancer survivors and co-survivors, support
and reach out to those currently going through treatment or
honor those whose battle with breast cancer has ended.
The Komen Central & Eastern Virginia Affiliate will provide you with ideas for your program, a suggested script for services, a sample bulletin announcement, and educational materials.
Please click here to fill out our online Worship in Pink registration form. Once this form is completed, you will receive an email with the Worship in Pink Toolkit and additional information about scheduling a Worship in Pink day at your place of worship.
