Kasuso Foundation, in partnership with Araneta City, is thrilled to announce its upcoming Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign. This year's theme, "Let's Bridge the Breast Cancer Care Gap: Fair and Square," aims to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer education and support.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, celebrated annually in October provides a platform to spotlight the importance of early detection, access to care, and the ongoing need for research breakthroughs in breast cancer treatment. 

This year, Kasuso has partnered with Araneta City to bring together 35 renowned and upcoming contemporary artists and 15 of photojournalists to create a unique and impactful experience for supporters.

Event Highlights: “Susuportahan Kita: A Benefit Art Exhibit: Bridging the Gap in Breast Cancer Care in the Philippines,” "Kasuso Stories of Survival Against All Odds: A Photo Exhibit," and "KasusoCon: Merging Craft and Cause: A Benefit Art Convention."

As the centerpiece of this campaign, Kasuso Foundation, in partnership with Araneta City, presents "Susuportahan Kita," a one-of-a-kind contemporary art exhibit featuring the works of some of today’s most celebrated artists. It's a cross-disciplinary art exhibit that celebrates the strength and resilience of women and families affected by breast cancer.

With works from both new and established Filipino artists, the exhibit explores a wide range of themes related to the disease, including the physical and emotional challenges, the importance of family and community support, the power of hope and resilience, and the need for early detection and access to treatment.

The artworks on display were chosen for their diversity in terms of art style, practice, and background. Some of the artists are breast cancer patients or survivors themselves, while others drew inspiration from the stories of loved ones affected by the disease.

Both established and emerging artists in the art scene, including Mideo Cruz, Raquel De Loyola, Jef Carnay, Jun Sabayton, Isha Naguiat, Hannah Nantes, Corrine Fernandez Garcia, Lilay Sarreal, Kevin Roque, Jomari Caya, and Naburok, have contributed their artwork. They have woven different modes of creative expression, each offering a unique perspective on the theme of bridging the breast cancer care gap. From powerful sculptures to thought-provoking paintings, this exhibit promises to engage, inspire, and spark important conversations about breast cancer care disparities.

The “Susuportahan Kita” exhibit will have a grand opening on Oct. 7 and will be open to the public throughout the month of October at Gateway Mall in Araneta City.

Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness

Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Kasuso Foundation will host a Benefit Art and Photo Exhibit, Kasuso-Con Art Convention, Breast Health Talk, Floristry Workshop in partnership with Gathered Creative Co., and two patient-focused parties celebrating the lives of breast cancer survivors, one in partnership with Ogie Diaz and the other with Tupperware Brand. Our goal is to emphasize not only the importance of early detection but also advocate for equitable access to healthcare resources for all women affected by breast cancer.

“We believe that art has the power to inspire change and ignite conversations around important issues,” says Georgia M. Pangan, President of the Kasuso Foundation. “Through the 'Susuportahan Kita' exhibit and our entire Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign, we aim to create a meaningful impact in the fight against breast cancer and ensure that no one is left behind in their journey to receive the care they need.”
