The Check One, Two Campus Tour, made possible by Show Me Your Mumu and The Futon Shop, posts up on college campuses coast to coast each Fall to provide peer-to-peer communication and education on how to reduce your breast cancer risk. Students receive “coaching” on methods of early detection and have an opportunity to experience what a “lump feels like” through the use of life-like jelly breast molds. Students also can test their “Breast & Health Knowledge” and win prizes with a Q&A game session designed to help identify fact from fiction, dispel common myths, and prompt a conversation about health practices conducive to a young person’s daily life. B4BC partners with campus organizations to deliver a unique outreach experience that not only reinforces healthful information, but also ensures student resources are in place year-round once the B4BC team heads home. If you are a student or organization that would like to bring B4BC to your campus, please contact us at email@b4bc.org.
