CanCan Party with KCWWL, QLaw, and MAMA Seattle

KCWWL, QLaw, and MAMA Seattle have partnered to host a “CanCan Party” on October 24 from 5-7. Before and after the scheduled program, there will be an informal opportunity for the members of the various organizations to mingle and enjoy light refreshments (from 5:00-5:30 and 6:30-7:00).

What is a CanCan Party? We’re so glad you asked! See below:

A CanCan Party is great way to educate colleagues, neighbors, family, and friends of any age, gender, and background on ovarian and breast health. Party attendees learn the importance of knowing their body, being an advocate for their health, and living a healthy lifestyle. We create a space where attendees feel safe about asking questions, while making it a fun experience as they learn!

Workshops are led by trained health instructors who teach on a curriculum in line with the latest scientific and medical knowledge on ovarian and breast cancer. Each workshop also includes an ovarian or breast cancer survivor to share her journey.

Attendees learn in a 1-hour party about both ovarian and breast cancer, specifically:

• Signs and symptoms

• Screening recommendations in line with national guidelines

• Risk factors

• Assessing cancer risk with our Family History and Genetic Counseling worksheet

• Cancer myths

• Healthy lifestyle choices to help reduce risk

Attendees are empowered to be their own health advocates by:

• Knowing their bodies

• Having conversations about their health history with their families and trusted health care professional

• Sharing this important information with family and friends
