CanCure is a student-led CAS club with the goal of funding basic checkups for breast cancer and reducing the stigma around breast cancer through educating our community on its causes, risks, and prevention. Breast cancer affects more than 300,000 people worldwide each year, making it a prevalent problem throughout the world. Despite its frequency, however, there is a lot of stigma and misinformation around it, which Cancure aims to address.

Additionally, we aim to help fund basic checkups at the Queen Sirikit for Breast Cancer Foundation, a foundation dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and research of breast cancer in Thailand, which provides care to all women regardless of their financial status. Funds are raised through annual events and sales throughout the school year. This year, we raised over 50,000 baht through our Pink Day, hosted yearly in October, and sales during Community Engagement Week.

Cancure meets weekly to plan events and discuss and create digital posts. These posts are consistently published on our Social Media (@bps_cancure on Instagram), aimed to educate the school community on the disease surrounded by stigma; on the background, warning signs, prevention, and treatments in Thailand.

Overall, Cancure has had an incredibly successful year, with more funds raised than the last. Moving forward, we plan to raise even more funds to help those in need and to get more members for the club to help this cause. Additionally, we hope to plan a hospital visit to the Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer, to further support the patients and raise awareness for breast Cancer.
