Just about every donation of money you get something to help bring awareness. I have purchased T-shirts that were given after a donation. Awareness is just as important as what you donate, because more people will know about the disease and will do more to help the causes. There are certain communities that do not get checked because they are unaware of the measures of prevention and the success rate of early detection. Based on the original stories these officials gave a check as well as wore a whistle. Wearing a whistle is a sign of support and I am sure many of the participants had people in their lives that were affected. I know I have so the sign of support sometimes means more than just giving money alone.
