Kraft Family Y: White Ribbon Project

White Ribbon Project

Oct. 14, 1 - 4 p.m.
Kraft Family YMCA Outdoor Pavilion

We are looking for volunteers to sand large wooden ribbons, add two coats of paint allowing time for the paint to dry in between coats, apply Lung Cancer Awareness labels and sign the back of the ribbon. We are making ribbons to hand out to lung cancer patients, their caregivers, friends & families, the medical & science communities, including cancer centers and local companies to raise awareness. Thousands of white ribbons have been made and distributed! 

The Project was created by Heidi Nafman-Onda a lung cancer survivor and her husband, primary care physician Dr. Pierre Onda. They started making ribbons in their garage to raise awareness that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer and no one deserves it!  Since October 2020, the movement has taken off around the world. Across the US, Canada, EU and beyond, the international lung cancer community White Ribbon Project brings hope, connection and survivorship. Join our movement!  

Contact Helen Rentz & Noble Jla for more details.
