Just Announced: Pop-Up Gallery Supporting ‘So Brave’ Young Women’s Breast Cancer

Brisbane, Queensland: As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, 
Australia’s Breast Cancer Charity for Young Women, So Brave, will be 
hosting a pop-up art gallery and market in Fortitude Valley the 9th & 10th 
October. 

The Pop-up Gallery will mark the release of the 2022 So Brave Calendar, a 
major milestone for So Brave on its mission to raise awareness for young 
women. 

Through So Brave’s Ambassador Campaigns, young breast cancer survivors 
can access body painting and photography as a way to restore their 
relationships with their bodies in the wake of their traumatic experience, 
while also raising awareness of the prevalence of breast cancer in young 
women. 

Despite the challenges COVID has posed on fundraising initiatives, So Brave 
is excited to be able to continue empowering, researching, educating and 
advocating for brave young women who have been through the shock of 
diagnosis. 

“Every donation or purchase from So Brave ensures support, connection, 
empowerment and advocacy. It supports investment into research for 
young women with breast cancer, changing the conversation for young 
women and breast cancer.” says Rachelle Panitz, Managing Director and 
Founder of So Brave. 

“If we can teach young women to be more body aware and be their own 
best health advocate, we have a fighting chance for them to insist on 
medical intervention, a diagnosis, and early treatment. Young women are 
also the ones who are more likely to check their breasts regularly, and more 
likely to be the first to notice a breast change which leads to a diagnosis.” 

This news comes in the wake of many recent initiatives, including: 

• New partnership with select community-fundraising platforms to 
offer more ways to get involved 
• Roll-out of educating program teaching #breastawareness in high 
schools 
• Collaboration with Adventure All Stars, an award-winning TV travel 
show 

“We exist to be the force that empowers young women with the education, 
resources and strength to stand for themselves when faced with navigating 
the medical system, and to be taken seriously among their elders. We are 
building a new generation of self-assured women who are their own best 
health advocates.”
