TAWAU (May 21): In a touching tribute to resilience and motherhood, Sabah Kinabalu Pink Ribbon distributed subsidized bra prostheses to 17 breast cancer survivors during its Pink Hi-Tea event held in conjunction with Mother's Day in Tawau on May 17.
The event served as a celebration of strength, bringing together survivors, caregivers, and supporters for an afternoon of empowerment, solidarity and renewed hope. Each survivor received a custom-fit bra prosthesis — an essential aid in both physical and emotional healing after mastectomy.
'This initiative goes beyond providing prostheses — it's about restoring confidence, dignity and a sense of normalcy to these incredible women,' said Christy Fe Salazar, president of Sabah Kinabalu Pink Ribbon. 'We are truly grateful to our generous donors and community partners for standing by us. Together, we are making a meaningful impact in the lives of survivors.'
The event also emphasized the importance of early detection, strong support systems, and holistic care in the journey through breast cancer. Attendees were uplifted by inspirational stories, health and wellness sharing, and the warm, supportive atmosphere celebrating motherhood and survivorship.
Sabah Kinabalu Pink Ribbon extends heartfelt thanks to all donors, sponsors and volunteers whose generosity made this program possible. Their unwavering support ensures that survivors continue to receive the care and resources they need to thrive beyond cancer.
