Offline: Consult your local newspapers and community bulletin boards. The local library may also have a list of events.
Search online
Use search engines like Google with terms like “breast cancer awareness events in [your city/state] 2024.” You can also visit the websites of local hospitals, cancer centers, and breast cancer support groups.
Contact local charities and organizations
Reach out to organizations like the American Cancer Society or local breast cancer support groups. They often have information about upcoming events.
Follow social media
Many organizations and individuals use social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to promote breast cancer awareness events. Follow relevant hashtags like #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth or local hashtags.
