PINK week is coming to Sussex, here’s what’s happening
Let’s get pink and think about breast cancer
Grace HelpsIn the UK, an extraordinary 27 percent of breast cancer cases are preventable. Despite this, the illness tragically takes the lives of many our loved ones.
From April 24rd-29th, volunteers from the University of Sussex are bringing this to attention by hosting a 'pink week' in Brighton. The campaign encourages you to be aware of, learn how to detect and prevent the effects of breast cancer.
Throughout the week, a series of events are running, ranging from glitter nips to a big boob beach takeover. Events will be held across Brighton, including; Falmer Campus, the Pop-Up gallery and Proud Cabaret.
Pink Wednesday volunteers in 2017
After the success of last year, unique t-shirt designs will be available to buy for £8 at each event and around campus. All money collected will go towards the charities CoppaFeel! and Breast Cancer Now.
Last year's glitter boob event
The events are as follows:
Tuesday 24th April:
If you're on campus between 11am 5pm, make sure that you venture to the Pink Week market stall situated at Falmer Quad. Here, you'll be able to buy T-shirts and talk to volunteers about becoming more aware of breast cancer.
In the evening, head to their fabulous Pop-Up venue in Brighton to enjoy a life drawing class from 7-9pm.
Wednesday 25th April:
On Wednesdays, we glitter our nipples. Pink Week is hosting their very own immersive art based club night at the Proud Cabaret. At their event, which is running between 9pm and 2am, expect art installations, performances and workshops.
You and your friends should be ready to glitter up and enjoy a colourful night in support of breast cancer awareness.
