Celebration of Life Gains Major Media Attention
Bosom Buddies of Georgia Event Appears in Stories in Gwinnett Daily Post
The Celebration of Life Luncheon and Fashion Show (COL), the signature event of Bosom Buddies of Georgia, gained major media attention this year by way of two feature stories, one in the Gwinnett Daily Post and one in the Gwinnett section of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. COL is an annual event put on by Bosom Buddies, an affiliate of the Georgia Cancer Foundation (GCF), which recognizes all those who have been touched by breast cancer.
The first of the two stories ran in the AJC before the event on February 23, and was written by Jennifer Brett.
The second article ran in the March 12 issue of the GDP, one day after the event, and was written by Leslie Wiggins. The story highlighted the success of the luncheon and fashion show, which was attended by more than 400 people. Bosom Buddies member Sally Weatherbee was interviewed at the event.
“I’ve been a member 18 years, and I’ve been to this event and seen it grow from 100 to 400 people,” said Weatherbee, a survivor who has been cancer-free for 18 years. “This is the biggest, prettiest and the best (Bosom Buddies luncheon). It’s like a homecoming for people.”
Bosom Buddies of Georgia’s mission is to provide positive support services and education during diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of breast cancer. Bosom Buddies, based in Atlanta, seeks to eradicate breast cancer through early detection and education, while enhancing the quality of life for women living with breast cancer.
