Join iask, Inc. for our partnership with “Circle of Promise” to Eradicate Breast Cancer in African American Women

Posted October 1st, 2009 by admin

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Join us during the month of October as we partner with Susan G. Komen’s “Circle of Promise” Campaign. The past five (5) years we have seen first hand what Breast Cancer can do and we are fighting MAD! The sisters of iask will be hosting pink parties in our October Buddy Group Meetings at the end of this month TBA.

We do so in memory of Francene Robinson, Sheryl Flowers and other who we lost to Breast Cancer in 2009. We do so in honor of Nicole McLean, Aida Olevincia, and Venessa Bates as they fight against the disease right now. Please help us in this fight and go to our website www.iaskinc.org for more information on our anti-Breast Cancer activities.

More Details to Come on Pink Parties soon!
