EVENT ACTIVITIES

Be Breast Aware with BCWA

To emphasize on the importance of ladies having their breasts checked regularly and the need to take care of their own breast health, the BCWA team held consultations and FREE Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) as well as public education of the monthly Breast Self-Examination (BSE) to all female shoppers. These initiatives were held by on-site certified nurses of BCWA.

We Care For Your Boobs by Your Breast Friend, XIXILI

With the brand essence of uplifting women always, XIXILI contributed in this good cause as well in offering complimentary bra fitting consultation and services on the importance of wearing right-sized bra and how to select the suitable brassiere style for a flattering fit to curves of all types. Shoppers were rewarded with exclusive promotion and gifts-with-purchase and for every bra sold, RM3 were donated to BCWA throughout the October month. The fund-raising activity is also extended to XIXILI online platform.

A Pink Ribbon art sculpture made of entwined yarn was erected to signify the communal bond and support for and amongst women diagnosed with breast cancer. The Pink Ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness and the color pink in general, identifies the wearer who expresses his/her moral support for women with breast cancer. The yarn was placed at the entrance of the event, welcoming guests to stop and snap pictures with it – to imply the deepening bond of the community towards this worthy cause!
