Friends of Pink Ribbon
Friends of Pink Ribbon are volunteer-based support groups for the Pink Ribbon Campaign. These support groups have been established in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi and are functioning as part of the campaign to bring about awareness of breast cancer. Mrs. Sheila Lyall Grant, the wife of the then British High Commissioner in Pakistan was the founding Chairperson.
A number of fundraising events have been arranged by the Friends of Pink Ribbon to gather funds for the campaign. They have also been involved in a number of other ground activities at their locations to spread the knowledge about breast cancer.
The campaign is on its way and still has a long path to follow. This journey could be facilitated by the support you offer by allocating some of your time for voluntary work or through donations, thereby ensuring that the work Pink Ribbon Pakistan is doing, will continue. Your contribution depends on your skills and interest. Essentially, the campaign wants to increase public awareness and raise money for the provision of treatment facilities.
This can be accomplished through public speaking, organizing seminars, symposium, organizing fund raising events, handling the administration and maintaining media contacts, etc. As a volunteer-driven organization, the campaign absolutely depends on others to lend a helping hand in combating breast cancer in Pakistan.

Survivor’s Network
The Pink Ribbon Campaign has initiated a Breast Cancer Survivor’s Network to improve survival from Breast Cancer and the quality of life after diagnosis for patients and their loved ones.
The scope of the Survivor’s Network includes:
- Social and emotional support
- Link survivors with patients as role models
- Provide culturally specific educational materials to survivors and their families
- Conduct one-to-one interviews with survivors to learn more about how they are dealing with their cancer and how their care can be improved.
- Connect members with other survivors

Healthcare Professionals and Providers
Pink Ribbon Pakistan is closely associated with healthcare professionals and providers. These organizations and individuals help in their capacity to spread awareness about Breast Cancer. Doctors voluntarily extend their support and give lectures and attend awareness camps upon Pink Ribbons request when ever needed. Their information and knowledge imparted to women is unparallel.
