52 | October 2012 www.womanthismonth.com Diary Do Your Part Raise as much money as you possibly can for Breast Cancer Awareness by attending as many of the Kingdom’s fun-filled fundraising events. This month is all about uniting people for a common cause, the cause being breast cancer awareness month. Many of the Kingdom’s companies and organisations have offered their premises, services and employees with one goal in mind: to raise as much money as possible to find a cure for and to help those with breast cancer. Events of all varieties are being held throughout the month with the hope of having at least one fundraiser that each person will be able to take part in. The month’s calendar has been put together by Bahrain’s number one breast cancer society; Think Pink Bahrain. The month kicks off with three days of fitness classes at Bodyline, encouraging women to get fit and healthy in aid of the cause. Next up includes a range of hobby-specific events including a Harley Davidson Owner’s Group (HOG) awareness ride, followed by two men’s and women’s separate events at the Royal Golf Club. Next, the World Beat Fitness Centre will be holding its seventh annual open day from 9am until 1pm. The centre’s teachers are all volunteering their time and expertise to teach members of the public various classes, including pilates, belly dancing, yoga and zumba. Simply pay a nominal fee to attend with all proceeds going towards the cause. You can continue the fitness streak at Bahrain City Centre’s annual Think Pink walkathon or stretch your vocal cords and cause yourself some probable embarrassment at JJ’s fundraising karaoke. On October 20 Dessange will have a ‘Party in Pink’, including a three hour zumba and spinning marathon from 10am-1pm, providing a great opportunity to garner lots of sponsorship. Or you can take the little ones and get creative at both Studio Ceramics and Café Ceramique, which will both be having events. October’s activities will end on a high at the beginning of next month with the annual Pink Walkathon in support of the American Mission Hospital. So, as you can see, there are plenty of opportunities to donate some funds by attending an event, sponsor a friend, colleague or family member and generally have fun all in aid of a desperate cause.
