The Annual Weekend
Each end of January/early February, Let Every Woman Know – Alaska hosts a widely publicized Awareness & Arts of Healing Weekend full of events geared towards awareness and support for women with gynecologic cancers.
From writing to singing to painting and drawing; all forms of art expression can be therapeutic. The weekend follows an “Arts of Healing” theme in which we recognize the positive effects art has on women coping with cancer and raise awareness through creative arts and community.
