Breast Cancer Survivors Honored At AKA Party

STARKVILLE, MISS. (WCBI) – The Starkville Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha is celebrating survivors.

The group hosted its “Think Pink” birthday party. The event honored breast cancer survivors in the area.

There were games, dancing, and birthday cake for everyone to share.

Chapter members say each Birthday is extra special after surviving cancer.

“When you have breast cancer, it not only affects you, it affects everybody in your life.  I was affected by this because my sister in law has breast cancer and was a survivor.  So, I know from first hand how it affects you as a person and because it takes a toll out of the person who has breast cancer, and also takes a toll out of you as a family member, and one of the things this can actually do is help lift the spirits of the person who is a survivor,” said AKA Member, Ann Arr.

The group also honored women who bravely fought breast cancer.
