OPEN HOUSE- Welcome to Project Life

Welcome to the first annual Project Life - OPEN HOUSE.  

We hope you can find an hour or two to join us.  

This is for the general public.  So please share with your friends, family, colleagues, nonprofit organizations that support those living with  MBC, oncologists, caregivers, etc... 

Here is the schedule for the day: 

8-8:45am PT (11:00-11:45am ET) - What is Project Life? 

Come and learn how Project Life came to existence and the current study that we are collaborating with Vanderbilt University on MBC Cancer Care Delivery.

9:00-9:45am PT (12:00 - 12:45pm ET) What are Healing Circles?

10:00-11:30am PT ( 1:00-2:30pm ET). Ask the Expert - MBC 101

Ask the Expert is one of our most popular conversations in the house.  Come and listen to Project Life board member, Janice Cowden, and Dr. Kelly Shanahan, both living with MBC share the basics of this disease and why it is much different than early-stage breast cancer.  

The slide presentation is sponsored by the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance.

Dana Georges, one of Project Life's therapeutic art facilitators, will take you through a short activity.  Bring crayons and 3-4 pieces of computer paper. Then ED, Lesley will close out our day.  

This is also our mid-year fundraiser, so a donation of any kind goes a long way to support our virtual wellness house and to keep our programming free.  All donations are tax-deductible.  Donate HERE! 

Project Life keeps its overhead down so that we can focus on what's important - our members.  Therefore, all of our funding is handled by our fiscal sponsor.  Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs
