“It is breast cancer month and we as the Rotaract clubs have joined together to raise money through the cocktail party to donate to the Cancer Association of Zimbabwe, who are going to administrate the funds,” Chikove said.
“People should come wearing pink and free cocktails will be given to the first 100 ladies to walk in at the bar.
“We want to join in this initiative to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of breast cancer through education on symptoms and treatment.
“On the day there will be presentations that will give knowledge to people on early detection of breast cancer, which is associated with higher long-term survival rates.”
