Slamp continues fight against breast cancer
(Italy) – Slamp supports the fight against breast cancer by working with Komen Italia, a leading group in women’s health, for its 4th year.
Slamp turns Pink to bring hope: their donations and light creations, along with support for the Pink Tie Balls in Rome and Naples, have helped Komen Italia increase its efforts. This includes more Prevention Days to promote women’s health. Komen Italia is a volunteer-driven group active nationwide, raising funds for breast cancer projects.
Since 2000, it has invested over 26 million Euros into:
- 180 research grants for young doctors in Italy and abroad.
- 1,200 Women’s Health Days, offering free exams to 265,000 women in 17 regions.
- Support for 350 associations promoting health projects across Italy.
Founded in Rome, Komen Italia now operates in seven regions and collaborates with over 100 cities through a network of volunteers and “Friendly Associations.” Celebrities like Maria Grazia Cucinotta and Rosanna Banfi are among those who passionately support the group.
Komen Italia is also a founding member of Think Pink Europe, a network of nonprofits that organises the Race for the Cure programme across Europe.
