This October, moviegoers in more than 200 theaters across 22 states and Washington, D.C., will see a public service announcement on the big screen before their film begins, and in many theaters, in the lobby as well.
In it, seven-time Grand Slam champion and Olympian Venus Williams and renowned breast cancer surgeon Dr. Kristi Funk describe steps women can take to lower their risk of breast cancer: eating a plant-based diet, exercising regularly, limiting alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight.
The video is part of Let’s Beat Breast Cancer, our annual campaign to bring risk-reduction information to women who may not hear it elsewhere.
Select theaters across the country are also screening another project that raises important conversations about breast cancer.
Hello Beautiful, an award-winning film, is based on the memoir of breast cancer survivor Christine Handy. Handy, a former model and the film’s executive producer, has spent nearly a decade working to change how film portrays breast cancer. Rather than tragedy, the story focuses on survivorship and life after diagnosis.
The film has also been screened in hospitals and other healthcare settings for patients, caregivers, and care teams.
In several cities, including Charlotte, Charleston, Los Angeles, and the Twin Cities, audiences can see both the film and PSA.
To find Hello Beautiful screening locations, dates, and times, visit their channels.
Supporters who gave at our International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine, viewers who donated during our recent Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Give-A-Thon, and individual sponsors made bringing the PSA to theaters possible. The Give-A-Thon aired live in September and brought together Dr. Funk, Dr. Neal Barnard, survivors, advocates, and guests including Alicia Silverstone, William H. Macy, and Marilu Henner.
We are grateful to everyone who contributed.
