AWWIN Thinking Pink “Walking with a Purpose” Team Challenge
Join AWWIN and others for a 5K walk at 2 PM, Saturday, October 17, 2009 at the Savannah Mall. The goal? To educate and empower women in the community and assist the plight of eradicating breast cancer.
"AWWIN Thinking Pink" is a new Breast Cancer Walk designed to assist low income women in the areas of: access to treatment; support services; screening; education and awareness.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer found in women and the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the U.S. ( WebMD Health News ).
- Every 3 minutes, there is a new diagnosis of invasive breast cancer
- A woman has a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime
- Every 13 minutes, a life is lost to breast cancer
- White, non-Hispanic women are more likely to develop breast cancer but African-American women are more likely to die from it.
- Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Hispanic women and is the leading cause of cancer deaths among this group.
Screenings (CDC) -- Deaths from breast and cervical cancers could be avoided if cancer screening rates increased among women at risk. Deaths from these diseases occur disproportionately among women who are uninsured or under insured. Mammography and Pap tests are underused by women who have no source or no regular source of health care, women without health insurance,and women who immigrated to the United States within the past 10 years.

WALK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE AT THE ARTFUL SAVANNAH MALL
An inspiring, out-of-the-box mural project begins at Savannah Mall during the weekend of May 2-May 3, 2009. The public is invited to watch as murals are painted to decorate the corridors in fairly rapid succession, beginning with 2 original designs in the Soft Play area near Burlington Coat Factory and 4 different, but equally unique, designs near Dillard’s department store. The murals are original designs by the students of the SCAD Illustration Department.
*THE SCAD MURAL PROJECT*
Located throughout the mall, the bold murals will cover floor to ceiling (12 feet) public spaces, and will vary from 18 feet to 37 feet wide. The art pieces include fun-to-whimsical as well as dark and sci-fi-esque art topics. The sketching and grid work began inside Savannah Mall on Sunday, April 19th. The artist of each mural design is leading a team of illustrators, about 5 per team, to complete each project piece.
