In support of breast cancer awareness, The Sri Lanka Cancer Society organized an awareness programme on the 3rd of October. 2025.
The event “Breast Cancer in Focus”, held at The Kingsbury Hotel, was a resounding success, drawing a full house of 150 attendees. The initiative combined a sophisticated high tea experience with a fashion show, a talk by a medical professional, and a moving testimony by a breast cancer survivor.
The program featured a presentation by a reputed cancer oncologist Dr. Damayanthi Pieris which provided valuable insights into breast cancer awareness and prevention, followed by a heartfelt story from a cancer survivor, which resonated strongly with the audience and added a powerful human element to the afternoon.
Highlighting the spirit of solidarity and generosity, all models, fashion designers, and makeup and hair stylists contributed their services entirely free of charge. Their commitment helped create an elegant and professional atmosphere that was deeply appreciated by attendees.
Overall, “Breast Cancer in Focus” was not only a sold-out event but also a meaningful gathering that successfully blended style, education, and inspiration to support a vital cause.
