RM45,000 Raised for Breast Cancer Awareness at the FMM & BCWA Putrajaya Pink Carnival, Putrajaya – 28 Nov 2010

The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) Women in Business Committee and the Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA) co-organised a fun Pink Carnival at Putrajaya Lake Club on Sunday, 28 November 2010. RM45,000 was raised and the funds were channelled to the BCWA Pink Challengers, the dragon boat team formed by breast cancer survivors.

There were dragon boat races and in one of the races, the MixFM team won! Face painting, Harley Davidson and Dragon Boat rides were the order of the day. BCWA souvenirs, food and drinks sold out quickly. There was also a breast cancer talk, a sharing session from breast cancer survivors and a lucky draw with attractive giveaways.
