Okay everyone........ we have some VERY exciting news to share with you.

Breast Cancer Network Australia is thrilled to introduce the Community Champions Program, celebrating the amazing members who make the Online Network such a supportive, welcoming and connected place for people affected by breast cancer. 🌟

πŸ‘‰ Starting NOW , every comment you make in the Online Network during July will count towards becoming BCNA's first Community Champion! πŸŽ‰

 

πŸ† How does it work?

At the beginning of next month, the BCNA moderation team will review engagement from the previous calendar month. The person who has shared the most helpful comments for other members, will be that month's champion. Please note that we will be reviewing comments, and will require that the information has been helpful or supportive, not simply the number of comments. 

The person who has made the most helpful comments during the month will receive a beautiful First Class Hampers gift hamper! πŸŽβœ¨

The winner will be contacted privately in the first couple of weeks of the following month via email and Online Network private message. 

 

πŸ’• Why are we doing this?

Because we know how much courage it can take to reach out for support.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, navigating treatment, supporting a loved one or adjusting to life after breast cancer, connecting with others who understand can make a world of difference.

We want the Online Network to continue being a safe, supportive and compassionate space where everyone feels comfortable asking questions, sharing experiences and offering encouragement. By recognising members who help create that environment, we hope to inspire even more meaningful connections across our community.

Every kind word matters. Every shared experience helps. Every comment has the potential to brighten someone's day or make them feel less alone.

 

🌟 This will be an ongoing initiative we have designed for you to help you connect with each other. Please note a member cannot win the hamper twice within a 6-month period, and it cannot be won by a BCNA staff member. 

 

✨ So what are you waiting for? Offer support to a recent discussion, welcome a new member, share your story or some encouragement to someone who needs it.

Together, we are stronger πŸ’ͺ

    We're so excited to see the Community Champions initiative launched! We're constantly amazed by the compassion, support and generosity shared across the Online Network. This is a lovely way to recognise the incredible contribution our members make every day. Thank you to all the Champions, and to everyone who helps make this community so special. πŸ’•

  • I’m new here and I've received so much support & love from this community. 

  • 🌟 One Week to Go for July! 🌟

    Wow! We have loved seeing so many members supporting one another throughout July. πŸ’•

    With approximately one week left in this month's Community Champions competition, there's still plenty of time to get involved and make a difference in someone's day.

    Remember, we're not just looking at the number of comments made, we're looking for members who are sharing helpful, thoughtful, supportive and encouraging responses that help others feel heard, informed and less alone.

    πŸ’¬ Not sure how to get involved? You could:

    • Welcome a new member who has recently joined the Online Network
    • Offer support to someone navigating a new diagnosis or treatment
    • Share a tip, strategy or experience that helped you through a challenging time
    • Respond to a member's question
    • Check in on someone who may be having a difficult day
    • Celebrate milestones and achievements with fellow members

    Sometimes the smallest comment can have the biggest impact. A few kind words from someone who understands can provide comfort, reassurance and hope when it's needed most. πŸ’—

    If you're looking for discussions to join, take a browse through some of the recent posts and see where you might be able to offer support, advice or connection.

    Thank you to everyone who has already been contributing so generously. Your kindness is what makes the BCNA Online Network such a special community.

    ✨ Keep sharing, connecting and supporting one another. The first BCNA Community Champion could be you! Together, we are stronger. πŸ’ͺπŸ’•
