The Breast Screening Programme received a valuable boost from Carter’s on (Wednesday, October 29, 2008) when Managing Director, Michael Edwards presented Dr. Shirley Hanoman-Jhagroo with a check from the proceeds of the recent Big Bucket Sale at Carter’s Wildey.

Mr. Edwards is appreciative of the tremendous support from customers

who got 20% off all the items they could fit into a 5 gallon special Big Bucket which

they were asked to purchase. All the proceeds from the sale of the buckets were donated to

The Breast Screening Programme and Mr. Edwards has confirmed that Carter’s

plans to continue working with The Breast Screening Programme.

“Based on the success of this first sale we will definitely include similar efforts in

our upcoming plans for the future as Carter’s continues to give back to our valued

customers and worthwhile programmes.”

Chairperson of The Breast Screening Programme, Dr. Shirley Hanoman-Jhagroo

received a symbolic Big Bucket full of the collected money which she says will go

towards the Breast Screening education programme.

“Carter’s has supported our efforts from the inception of our programme and we are

grateful that they have continued to work with us. The concept of the sale was unique

and we are ecstatic that it received so much support. The money donated will go

along way to furthering our education programme.”

October is Breast Cancer month and the sale is a fitting way for

The Breast Screening Programme to thank all Barbadians who have

supported the varied activities over the last few weeks.
