Survivors Abreast will be on site at Chapters Peterborough November 2, 2018 between 1-4 pm and again from 7-9 pm with our cookbooks filled with lots of homemade goodness. Proceeds from the sale of these books will help defer travel costs for the team to represent Peterborough and area at the next International Breast Cancer Dragon Boat Festival.
Some of our members will be attending the 8th Annual Bras Around The Building Event, organized by Energy 99.7 and Country 105, in partnership with Merrett Home Hardware Building Centre. With help from Peterborough Fire Services, collected bras will be strung together around the exterior of the Energy 99.7/Country 105 building located at 59 George St North in Peterborough, as a symbol of support for women battling breast cancer, to honour survivors and to remember those who have lost their battle.

Residents of Peterborough and the Kawarthas were encouraged to donate their gently used bras. For every bra collected, Merrett Home Hardware Building Centre will make a $1 donation, with proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society to support breast cancer research and cancer services.
