Time 11:30am – 3:00pm
Venue Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur
For the second year running, Asian Tigers Malaysia delivered their commitment to breast cancer awareness by attending the ABWM Pink Lunch event at the Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on October 4th. The afternoon event, cooked up by the Association of British Women in Malaysia, saw an energetic crowd come together in solidarity and for charity.
Event Highlights
The Pink Lunch offered a lavish buffet with free-flow beverages, making the atmosphere exciting and hospitable for all guests. Many participants relish sumptuous dishes between international and local delicacies while fraternizing around to share stories of hope and resilience. The event was a great platform where guests could connect, network, and show support for a noble cause.
Supporting a Worthy Cause
First and foremost, the ABWM Pink Lunch was organized and held to collect funds for BCW in Malaysia. BCW is a charitable organization that supports, educates, and empowers persons with breast cancer through creating awareness, forming patient support groups, and advocating for better health services. All monies generated by the Pink Lunch were given to BCW for the furtherance of this work, to the benefit of those in need.
An extremely important message conveyed by the whole event was to let people think about the importance of early detection and regular checkups for breast cancer. The organizers were keen to emphasize that with early diagnosis, the percentage of successful treatment and recovery is really very high. Some resourceful doctors shared many valuable informational dosages through the event about self-examination techniques and new inventions in the treatment of breast cancer.
Community Engagement
The ABWM Pink Lunch was certainly an event celebrating community heart and mutual support in terms of the fundraising element. Guests were encouraged to wear pink as a sign of support for all those who have survived, or are currently fighting, breast cancer. Pink decorations set an effective and uplifting visual tone for the event.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Participation in ABWM’s Pink Lunch serves to show that Asia Tigers Malaysia takes corporate social responsibility very seriously. With this sponsorship deal, the company transparently commits to creating positive change within the community and contributing to socially relevant causes. Getting involved in such initiatives within the company devises exactly what businesses can do towards raising awareness and building support for health-related concerns.
Encouraging Action
It ended with a very firm call to action for all present in the auditorium, and for anyone else in the community: “Ladies, get yourself checked today!” That simple but powerful reminder was necessary to pound into people’s minds that orderly checks on one’s health and proactive healthcare are important.
Looking Ahead
Asian Tigers Malaysia will continue participating and supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month and other charitable causes in the future. Their continuous efforts toward corporate social responsibility reflect social values entailing community engagement and social contribution. As such, they will continue to take part in such noble events as the ABWM Pink Lunch, hoping to inspire peers in the industry to join in the fight against breast cancer and to support those affected by this disease.
In summary, the ABWM Pink Lunch represented a very successful activity involving a great number of people and organizations under one umbrella in aid of breast cancer awareness and related issues. The Asian Tigers Malaysia participated in this initiative for the good cause, besides reinforcing the fact that early detection and community support are very important in this fight against breast cancer.
