Pigeon Forge WonderWorks Breast Cancer Awareness Month EventsWonderWorks Pigeon Forge is honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month throughout October 2024. All month long, they will be hosting a variety of fundraising opportunities and engaging community activities to raise money for the American Breast Cancer Support Association, a local charity they have teamed up with. Guests can visit WonderWorks to have fun, make memories, and leave knowing they have contributed to a good cause.

“We’re very excited to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the upside-down house this year! Supporting our community is a big part of the WonderWorks mission, so our team is already hard at work to make this a successful fundraiser,” said Joe Baumgartner, general manager at WonderWorks Pigeon Forge.

WonderWorks Pigeon Forge will offer several new programs and opportunities for the community to get involved, including fun fundraising activities, limited merchandise, and more. Guests are encouraged to get in on the action by joining in on these festive activities:

1) Climb for a Cure. From October 1-6, 2024, those taking on the indoor ropes course challenge can choose to donate up to $5 to the American Breast Cancer Support Association, which WonderWorks will match at the end of the week. Those who donate will receive a breast cancer ribbon showing their support and a WonderWorks sticker to celebrate.

2) HOPE Wall. From October 7 to 13, 2024, guests are invited to participate in a community art project hosted at WonderWorks. Guests can color the HOPE Wall, share their breast cancer stories, and share pictures using #wonderfulhope to spread awareness on social media.

3) Card Making. From October 14-20, 2024, a pop-up card-making activity will be set up in the lobby. Guests can use their creative skills to make a special card for someone who has been touched by breast cancer.

“One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, so we’re joining the fight here at WonderWorks,” said Melanie Benson, sales manager at WonderWorks Pigeon Forge. “We’ve got tons of exciting activities and fundraising opportunities lined up for October! I’m proud to be a part of it!”

In partnership with the American Breast Cancer Support Association, WonderWorks Pigeon Forge will donate all funds raised at the end of the month to help support their mission. The American Breast Cancer Support Association is a popular organization based in Knoxville, Tenn. that provides free mammograms for those without health insurance and low incomes. It also donates recliners to those going through chemotherapy.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 240,000 women get breast cancer in the U.S. each year. It is estimated that around 1 in every 100 breast cancer diagnoses is within a man. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is the perfect time to familiarize yourself with the symptoms of the disease.
