Breast health education for early detection. App. Classes. Campaign.
About us
Our mission is to improve early detection for breast cancer worldwide through creative and empowering education. Our vision is a world where patients feel empowered with knowledge and confidence to report breast changes and participate when screening is available. These two actions will improve breast health and reduce deaths from the disease. As an Associated Member of the United Nations Department of Global Communications, we will be a change-agent for this goal with breast cancer. We are aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #3 to “Reduce Deaths from noncommunicable diseases (like breast cancer) by one-third by 2030.” We will “change the picture of breast cancer for good” through an innovative approach to breast health education around the globe. Design is at the core of our organization. Not only in our appearance but our approach in a thoughtful human-centered way. We use design in a way that communicates to women and men, regardless of their ethnicity, age, or literacy level. We cross cultural understandings and comfort levels by using visual metaphor and universal design to educate the public on symptoms, self-exams, screenings, and testing. We adjust to meet local conditions and access to medical services. Our practices and educational tools are evidence-based.

Ever wondered how to prepare for your first mammogram? 🤷♀️ Follow these tips… ❌ No deodorants, powders, or lotions (they can show up white on a mammogram and could be confused for a lump) ✅ Wear a top that is easy to remove ✅ Take a pain reliever like ibuprofen an hour before ✅ Bring previous x-rays if you have them 💖 To know more about how a mammogram works and to book one near you, download our app! knowyourlemons.org/app

Does your brand emulate or imitate? I found this article and it got me thinking...https://lnkd.in/gDr3_nYP As a marketer in the nonprofit space, I am so lucky to have found community amongst other wonderful organizations. We say it takes a village to do what we do, and that doesn't just mean our coworkers! For example, I personally find inspiration from Know Your Lemons Foundation, another breast cancer charity totally nailing its branding and social media. Their content inspires me to be creative. But, our brands are incredibly different! I'd love for The Pink Fund's brand to emulate the power, creativity and brand equity they have developed. Since we're all online all the time, it's easy to spot imitation amongst various industries and brands. My tip for those looking to enhance their online presence: find things about other brands that you'd like to emulate, rather than imitate, and do so in your own unique way. #nonprofitmarketing #socialmediamarketing #marketingmanagement

#FeelitontheFirst: Empowering Breast Health Awareness in the Workplace 🍋 As we begin a new month, it's crucial to remind ourselves and our colleagues about the importance of regular breast health checks. Did you know that a simple dimple could be a sign of breast cancer? Key Points to Consider: 1️⃣ A dimple in breast tissue can be caused by a deep lump pulling the skin inward. 2️⃣ Not all dimples indicate cancer, but awareness is key. 3️⃣ Regular self-exams can help detect changes early. The Know Your Lemons Foundation offers an innovative, free app that educates users about the 12 signs of breast cancer, not just lumps. It provides: • Monthly self-exam reminders • Step-by-step audio guide for thorough checks • Information on understanding different breast textures Business leaders can promote health awareness in their organisations by considering: • Sharing breast health information in wellness programmes • Encouraging regular health check-ups • Supporting flexible schedules for medical appointments Early detection saves lives. Let's foster a culture of health consciousness in our professional communities. Have you incorporated breast health awareness into your workplace wellness initiatives? Please share your experiences and suggestions in the comments. 👇 #BreastCancerAwareness #WorkplaceWellness #KnowYourLemons #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #CorporateWellness
