 Huntington
High School Art Honor Society,
For almost a year, students from the community have been assisting
in the design & construction of the bracelets that are
sold at many venues to raise money for educational programs
offered by HBCAC. Many of these students have had a relative
touched by cancer and
their involvement in making and selling jewelry has been therapeutic.
In addition to the jewelry lessons, students educated about
prevention, and discuss ways to reduce the incidence of cancer
and other diseases. Wisdom is circular and young people can
often be the best educators. We salute the young members of
our community for their dedication and hard work. Bringing
the HBCAC message
into the schools is a passion and mission for Laura and JoAnn,
creators of EmBraceable You products. Take A Bow Huntington

|  Teachers
and staff from Jefferson Elementary
School in Huntington
Hats off to the staff of Jefferson Elementary School for being
huge supporters of HBCAC… through sales of bracelets
for Mother’s Day or other holidays; as well as their
annual breast cancer awareness month fundraiser. Throughout
the year, Embraceable You has been invited often to display
their bracelets
and raise money for the programs offered by the HBCAC. It
is more than just buying bracelets-a festive coming together
of people who chat and share information about friends and
loved ones going through the cancer journey. So many people
have expressed their gratitude for the information and outreach
HBCAC provides. Take A Bow Jefferson Elementary Staff …
