Orchids. Beautiful huh? Anyways, as I was twitting earlier about a fundraising event, here are the details for your understanding.
About Orchid Day
1) What is Orchid Day?
It is a day for us to show our love and support and to give hope to all women who are at risk of being afflicted with breast cancer.
2) What is the official date for Orchid Day?
Orchid Day officially falls on the first Friday through Saturday every March. The inaugural Orchid Day in 2010 fell on March 5, and ran throughout the weekend, up to March 8 (which is the International Women’s Day).
3) Why Orchid?
Orchid is generally regarded as the symbol of rare and delicate beauty besides exuding the charm of strength. Orchid is able to grow naturally in almost all climate which symbolically depicts a woman with breast cancer who lives through her diagnosis, treatment and ultimately, recovery despite all odds.
4) Where does my money go to?
The proceeds from Orchid Day will go towards funding BCWA’s work in providing and enhancing the psychosocial support for women affected by breast cancer, educating the public on breast health, equipping women with knowledge and awareness on breast self familiarisation, promoting public awareness on the support services provided by BCWA and lastly but not limited to, encouraging the public to show their support for women diagnosed with breast cancer.
Venue : Sunway Pyramid (LG, near Manhattan Fish Market)

Hope to see you all there! And yes, it is for a good cause! : )
