Motorworld has collaborated with the Elektralyets and Positive foundations to bring a new and creative workshop for the Breast Cancer Awareness month. Women and men are invited to the “Pink Ribbon Breast Aware, Car Care” workshop and cocktail event scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, October 19, from 6:00 to 9:00pm at the Motorworld showroom in Cole Bay.
“Motorworld is proud to collaborate with the Elektralyets Foundation and Positive Foundation in the fight to raise awareness and encourage prevention against breast cancer, the main killer of women in the region. We have been deeply touched by the impact of breast cancer with the loss of one of our beloved team members last year. Therefore, it has become even more important for us to get involved and do what we can to reach out to others throughout the community and raise awareness. We would like to encourage women to take care of their health and their breasts, first and foremost! Though car care pales in comparison to the importance of our health, it is also a factor to ensure our vehicles run smoothly in order to have reliable transportation and handle our daily responsibilities with that overall peace of mind,” shared Rena Amjad, CEO Motorworld Group of Companies
The Pink Ribbon Breast Aware & Car Care event provides a forum to learn about prevention methods, and register to get checked in an engaging environment, while also learning about essential car care. The event is free and open for the community to attend. Positive Foundation, supported by students of the American School of Medicine AUC, will do a presentation on knowing your risk factors for breast cancer. This presentation will include the distribution of breast aware educational literature. Attendees will also get hands-on car care tips from Motorworld’s professional service staff. Tips include how to care for your car and check the needed elements so that your car can run smoothly.
The cocktail segment of the evening is sponsored by CC1, the major sponsor of beverages for events during this pink month with the Elektralyets and Positive foundations. There will be cosmopolitans and strawberry mojito stations, together with Tequila Rose samplings and Dasani Sparkling water tastings. Attendees can enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres as well.
The audience will also be treated to live entertainment by King Rumer and King Kenyo, as well as poetry recitals by Stephen “Stretch R” Rodney, special reading from local author Latoya Lake and an interactive guest speaker. Attendees will have the chance to mingle and ask questions about Breast & Car Care to raise awareness of these key elements of women’s lives which are often overlooked.
The event was conceptualized to demonstrate the mirror effect between Car Care and Breast Care to persons in our community. “We drive our vehicles every day, but to ensure that our vehicles continue to perform optimally, they require regular service and maintenance. Similarly, our breasts also require maintenance and regular checks,” Elektra, President of the Elektralyets Foundation added.
“Through monthly breast exams and clinical breast screenings by your house doctors and your mammograms, you also ensure that your breasts are healthy and you are doing what is needed to continue to be breast aware. We know there is no sure way to prevent breast cancer, but it is our hope that through education, our women can take measures to get checked and catch it early, if it has been detected, when it’s easiest to treat,” says Shelly Alphonso, President of the Positive Foundation.
The event will also feature free gifts and prizes. Attendees may win a free service at Motorworld for their car. Please wear something pink to this event and, again, both men and women are welcomed. Breast cancer does not only affect the diagnosed patient but their husbands, the co-workers and their family members. So it’s best for all to be Breast Aware and enjoy a safe drive with the proper Car Care.
