Hi All!
#GivingTuesdayNow, a new initiative in response to COVID-19, is on May 5 and we're using it as an opportunity to talk about how Breastcancer.org community members give support to each other.
The goal is to spread positivity through photos.
What can you share or suggest to create a bright moment in someone's day?
We'll make a montage of photos to post on our community and social media platforms.
Thank you!
Here are a few examples.
