Program Ideas

May contain a cluster of rounded shapes.

Sharsheret Pink Challah Bake

Host a Sharsheret Pink challah bake with the campers and staff and blend tradition with purpose. Make a blessing for healing and support or say Tehillim (Psalms). Incorporate Sharsheret’s educational resources and meaningful challah bake materials to spark important conversations.

May contain three sports balls.

Athletic Tournaments

Promote physical health and teamwork through organized sports events such as a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, Zumba, spin, or a camp-wide walkathon. These events can be branded around Sharsheret’s message of living a healthy lifestyle.

May contain three playing cards and dice.

Sharsheret Game Night and Educational Training

Create an educational evening with Sharsheret-themed games and/or educational program sessions such as “True or False” trivia, Sharsheret Bingo or a Kahoot quiz. Staff can also participate in programs educating them about the importance of understanding their family health history, while empowering them to become leaders in their communities.

May contain various makeup containers.

Busy Box Toy Drive and Best Face Forward Makeup Kit

Organize a toy collection for Sharsheret’s Busy Box or arrange a Best Face Forward make-up drive. Sharsheret will provide a curated list of items, create Amazon wish lists, and provide resources and materials to educate the participants. The Busy Box provides educational resources for parents of young children about breast cancer, and ovarian cancer and prophylactic surgery, along with games and activities collected to engage children during medical appointments or recovery. The Best Face Forward kit supports women undergoing treatment for breast or ovarian cancer with makeup for all skin tones, application instructions, and tips for managing hair loss and skin tone changes.

May contain a spiral-bound notebook.

Meditation and Journaling for Inner Wellness

Set aside quiet time during the day for campers to participate in a guided meditation session followed by journaling. This activity connects to Sharsheret’s commitment to mental and physical wellness and offers a way for staff to educate the campers about the importance of caring for oneself, friends, and family in times of need.

May contain a teal-colored flower bouquet.

Planting for Purpose

Lead a pink flower planting activity on the campsite, using flowers such as tulips or zinnias. Enhance the garden with a sign to recognize Sharsheret and the women and families we support.

May contain a hand giving a heart.

Educational resources, speaker talking points and videos, and giveaways-all free of charge. Sharsheret will also set-up Busy Box and Best Face Forward wish lists and fundraising pages.
