Think Pink! 5 Ways To Get Involved With Breast Cancer Awareness Month at WonderWorks Orlando.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, making it a great time to put a spotlight on a critical issue that affects millions. WonderWorks Orlando is honoring the month by offering special fundraising activities, events and more throughout October. The upside-down attraction on International Drive has teamed up with the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation, a local organization that advocates for breast cancer patients in the state of Florida, to help raise funds and spread awareness.
Most people know someone who has been touched by breast cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, women will face an estimated over 310,000 new breast cancer cases in 2024. They report that breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer in women, and mammograms can detect cancer early, even before it has spread.
WonderWorks is spending the month of October bringing awareness to these important issues and providing visitors with various ways to donate and join the fight. Here are five things guests can do to recognize the month:
1) Climb For A Cure
From October 1-6, 2024, guests can take on the Climb for a Cure Challenge at WonderWorks’ indoor, suspended ropes course. Guests who challenge themselves on the course and donate up to $5 to the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation will receive a breast cancer awareness ribbon and WonderWorks sticker to display proudly. All funds will be matched by WonderWorks at the end of the week and donated to the organization! *Closed-toed shoes required to climb.
2) HOPE Wall
Participate in the HOPE Wall from October 7-13, 2024, to help create community art and spread awareness. Guests can use the project to share their stories and hopeful messages to breast cancer patients, survivors and families. All are invited to share their photos of the project on social media using #wonderfulhope to spread the message further.
3) Card-Making
Put your artistic skills to use at the pop-up card-making station in the lobby from October 14-20, 2024. Guests are invited to make cards for those who have been touched by breast cancer, including survivors, patients, families, and healthcare workers.
4) Survivor Ticket Giveaway
Keep an eye on the WonderWorks Facebook page for a special ticket giveaway at the end of the month. Locals will be able to nominate a deserving breast cancer survivor to win a family pack of tickets!
5) Grab a “Think Pink” T-Shirt
