๐ OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH ๐
This year, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is especially personal for Christine.
Our 2026 activities are dedicated to her best friend, Laura, who is currently going through breast cancer at age 54, and in loving memory of her dear friend Adley, whom we lost to breast cancer earlier this year at only 46.
Their courage, friendship and impact on Christineโs life are at the heart of everything we are doing this October.
๐ LUMINARY BAG DECORATING
From Monday, October 5, through Saturday, October 17, community members are invited to decorate a luminary bag in honor of someone currently facing breast cancer, in celebration of a survivor or metastatic thriver, or in memory of someone deeply loved.
Luminary bags and decorating supplies will be available at 7 Ridges Holistic Health and First Bank of Pizza during regular business hours.
Together, the luminaries will create a beautiful display of love, remembrance, courage and community support.
๐ LUMINARY WALK โ OCTOBER 19
Please join us for a Breast Cancer Awareness Luminary Walk on Monday, October 19, at dusk. We will meet at 6:00 p.m. near the Juliaetta wastewater treatment plant, walk to McGary Grade Road and return to our starting point.
We will display the decorated luminary bags as a tribute to the people we know and love who have been affected by breast cancer.
Hot cocoa and c***r will be available for everyone to enjoy during the walk.
๐ WE ARE PLANNING MORE EVENTSโMORE TO COME! ๐
We are also working on possible events with The Coffee Stop, Old Town Tavern and First Bank of Pizza, including yoga, food and special Breast Cancer Awareness promotions. Watch for more details!
Whether you decorate a luminary, participate in the walk, wear pink or check on someone going through treatment, your support matters.
This October, we honor those in treatment, celebrate survivors and metastatic thrivers, support caregivers, and remember the beautiful lives of those we have lost.
For Laura.
In loving memory of Adley.
And for every person and family affected by breast cancer. ๐
