Pink Ribbon Breakfast in Stadtschlaining: Raise awareness of breast cancer

The “Pink Ribbon Breakfast” recently took place in Stadtschlaining, an event that not only offered culinary delights, but also drew attention to the ongoing problem of breast cancer. Organized by Christa Glösl and her team, the community hall was full of guests who came together over a delicious breakfast for a good cause. The donations collected will benefit the Pink Ribbon Campaign of Krebshilfe Burgenland, which plays an important role in raising awareness and supporting breast cancer patients.

The health lecture by Dr. Constanze Schauer gave those present deeper insights into the importance of preventive examinations and mammography. In Austria, one in eight women suffers from breast cancer, which means around 5,500 new cases every year. It is crucial to have regular mammograms, especially in the age group between 45 and 74 years. Dr. Schauer emphasized that many of the diagnoses are detected at an early stage, which significantly improves the chances of treatment.

Raise awareness and provide help

The importance of the “pink ribbon,” a symbol of the fight against breast cancer, was also mentioned. This initiative helped to break the taboo surrounding the disease and bring the topic into the public eye. Andrea Konrath and Elisabeth Schranz from Krebshilfe Burgenland are active in organizing events and collecting money to help affected women and families. A diagnosis of cancer can bring many unforeseen challenges and the support through such events is invaluable.

The event was also celebrated by prominent guests, such as Mayor Renate Habetler and former team goalkeeper Herbert Stachowicz. Throughout the entire event, the appreciation for the important work of Krebshilfe Burgenland was clear. These events are not only a platform for education, but also an opportunity for financial support, which Andrea Konrath expressly emphasized. The commitment of women's organizations not only collects donations, but also increases public awareness of the issue.

In times when everyday life is threatened by health problems, the Pink Ribbon campaign is a great help by reducing financial burdens and showing solidarity in the community. Participating in such events and supporting Krebshilfe Burgenland are steps that not only benefit women affected, but also help raise awareness of breast cancer.
