Breast cancer is not race, religion or class orientated. It is only with research, education, early intervention 
and public awareness that we can fight this disease.

Think Pink Bahrain is a non-profit organization that was founded by Ms. Julie Sprakel in 2004. Over the years, the money raised has been directed to the NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR THE EARLY DETECTION OF BREAST DISEASE , which screens Bahraini women over the age of 40. Think Pink Bahrain is dedicated to increasing breast cancer awareness issue, especially early detection, thereby saving lives.

What started as a one off event to mark our Founder’s 30th birthday, is now a nation-wide awareness campaign. Since inception, Think Pink Bahrain has raised over US$ 600,000. This money has supported various breast cancer initiatives on the island specifically early intervention, education and awareness.

Members of Think Pink Bahrain donate their time, expertise, business acumen to support the ongoing work of the charity. They have been selected to compliment the Founder’s vision and enable Think Pink Bahrain to run efficiently and effectively thus ensuring success of this venture.

This is only the beginning of our journey to tackle breast cancer awareness in the Kingdom and you are not alone. Together we can make a difference.

Vision
The core principle of Think Pink Bahrain’s philosophy is education. Education is the first step to prevention. When we educate our mothers, daughters, sisters and nieces, we can help them make informed decisions, which may ultimately save their lives. Our ongoing investment in education will enable the people of Bahrain to receive and have access to the best healthcare professions with a holistic approach to breast cancer treatment.

Mission
Think Pink Bahrain aims to empower people at grass root levels through collaboration with local affiliates to continue to promote the importance of education and screening programs and community based outreach projects.
