Breast Cancer Prevention and Advocacy

Since 2005, the Foundation has collaborated with the Taiwan Breast Cancer Alliance to promote breast cancer screening. Because many women overlooked the importance of screening, we trained cancer survivors to act as lecturers to travel across 25 counties and 369 townships across Taiwan to spread awareness.

In 2023, the campaign expanded to new immigrants in Taichung and Keelung, with 77 participants. Initially, 21% resisted screening, but after the campaign, only 2% remained hesitant. In partnership with Shin Kong Bank, the Foundation also provided mobile mammogram service for working women. A total of 36 women received mammograms, with 3 requiring follow-up care.

Lighting Up the Pink Ribbon

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October 2023, the Foundation held the Light Up the Pink Ribbon event at Dahu Park in Taipei. The event aimed to encourage women to prioritize screenings, and the Foundation will continue to advocate women’s health and early detection to ensure a cancer-free life.
