Distribution of YSC materials as part of the "Adopt A Hospital" Program

YSC brochures, Young Perspectives Newsletter, Newly Diagnosed Kits, and copies of YSC's DVDs (Breast Cancer Legacy, You are not Alone, and Fighting for our Future) are provided to area hospitals & cancer centers.

Breast Health 101

YSC Central Indiana members go to various young women's group to provide breast health information through this PowerPoint presentation. We also distribute our YSC brochures & other materials and have breast models so participants can actually feel what a lump feels like.

Newly Diagnosed Kits

We are in the process of developing a resource guide to give to newly diagnosed women. These kits will be distributed to breast surgeons & oncologists in the Central Indiana area.

Memorial Tree Program

To honor members who have passed away, YSC Central Indiana will donate $100 towards a tree to be planted by their family.

Program Collaborations

YSC members as part of the Komen Foundation's Speakers Bureau.

The speaker's bureau provides volunteers for meetings, get-togethers, and health seminars for women of all ages who would like to learn more about breast health and activities that the fundraising of breast cancer organizations go toward. YSC's partnership with the speaker's bureau provides young women for speaking engagements that target other young women (high school/college groups, sororities, young mother's groups, etc.)

Partnership with Y-Me at health fairs

With limited space at many of the fairs and expos, YSC Central Indiana has joined forces with the local chapter of Y-Me to provide volunteers and materials at as many events as possible.
