Junior League of Boca Raton Partnering with Baptist Health on a “Women’s Wellness  Initiative,” During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The Junior League of Boca Raton (JLBR) is partnering with Baptist Health on a “Women’s Wellness Initiative,” to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month and increase breast cancer awareness and help the community understand the importance of early detection.  

“Women take care of their families, their co-workers, and their community, often neglecting their own health.  We launched this year-long initiative to encourage our members and women across our community to focus on their own health and wellness this year.  It’s like when we board a plane we are told to put on our own oxygen mask before assisting the person beside us,” Nikki Stelzer, President of the Junior League of Boca Raton said.

There are JLBR member events each month.  The public is invited to attend the following events:

Saturday, October 19 from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Lynn Cancer Institute will hold a Breast Cancer Bazaar at 701 NW 13th St, Boca Raton. It will be a morning of shopping, screening and empowerment in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The event includes light refreshments and complimentary valet parking. Tim Quinn of Halo 42 will speak about skin care, Brandi Hyatt, a Lynn Cancer Institute Dietitian, will speak on nutrition and Tricia Almelda of Drummond Therapy Centers will provide pelvic floor education.

To register, call 561-955-5097.

Saturday, October 26 at 8 a.m. at Sunset Cove Amphitheater, the community is invited to join the Junior League of Boca Raton’s team participating in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
