FREE breast cancer awareness printables
► Posted under FREEBIES, philanthropy by Heather
Last year, you might remember I made a free printable circle for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Although it was just one little circle, I heard from so many people that it was just what they needed for fundraisers and events! I knew then that I’d have to go bigger this year. I started brainstorming, and after getting a little advice from friends, I knew what to make: a printables kit that is as useful as it is pretty, with a little something for the fellas, too (because breast cancer can strike men as well, and besides – real men wear PINK!).
After designing the set, I reached out to Christine of Pure Joy Events for help in coordinating a photo shoot. Within hours, she’d assembled an absolute dream team of vendors to make the printables set come to life. The magic they made moved me to tears – more than once.
So without further ado (and with ample warning to grab a hankie, if you’re as prone to tears as I am), here are the photos and details from the shoot! Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to download your own copy of the printables set.

Fondant cupcake toppers by Lynlee’s Petite Cakes; zebra tray from The Pear Tree Cottage of Vienna, VA
Cookies by JP Creatibles

I am just in awe of vendors’ talents and generosity, and am utterly grateful to:
Styling & Coordination – Christine, Pure Joy Events
Photography & Cupcakes – Xiaolu, 6 Bittersweets
Cookies – Jen Fisher, JP Creatibles
Fondant toppers – Lynlee Beckett, Lynlee’s Petite Cakes
Props – Kelly, Stylish Patina
Props – The Pear Tree Cottage of Vienna, VA
All of the vendors and I are deeply touched by the blog community’s support, as these photos have been featured by amazing sites such as Amy Atlas, HowDoesShe, Pizzazzerie, and Kara’s Party Ideas. Some of these ladies even juggled their schedules just to help spread the word in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I am so thankful for their help!
This 44-page printables set is free for personal or fundraising use! It includes signs, donation cards, note cards, thank you cards, water bottle labels, tent cards, a variety of printable circles, cupcake wrappers, straw flags, miniature and full size Hershey bar wrappers, Hershey Kiss dots, favor tags, treat bag labels, a banner, and patterned papers.
I truly hope that this printable kit makes a difference in your fundraising efforts this year! Thank you, thank you for needing them.
PS. Update on October 1 – I designed coordinating pink ribbon blog buttons. These are also free, of course!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING US TO USE THESE FOR FREE!!!! I am donating cupcakes for a Bake Sale to raise money for the Susan G. Komen next month and was racking my brain on how I would package them. Thank you SO MUCH! Now I can just focus on the cupcakes and not have to worry about attempting to design my own labels!! YOU ARE AMAZING! LOVE your work!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! My mom is a survivor and just celebrated her first 6 month Cancer Free milestone. She was diagnosed as a Stage IV with a very aggressive form June 1st of last year and triumphed after difficult treatment and surgery. THANK YOU for sharing these! Do I have permission to either link this post or repost your printable out of respect and gratitude on behalf of my mom?
Thank you again,
Heather - Chickabug says:
I'm so happy to hear about your mom, Krystal - what a meaningful milestone to be able to celebrate!
I'd be honored if you re-posted about the printables, of course! I'd love to see a link if you do! : )
Cynderellaj says:
Absolutely breathtaking.....looking at your photos made me choke up a bit. I don't know anyone who doesn't know someone who is/has fought breast cancer. For you to make this set...and then give it away for free...is so very generouso of you!!!! Thank you
Heather - Chickabug says:
I'm with you - when I first saw the photos I cried my way through all of them! And it's so true, who doesn't know someone impacted by this disease? It's SO important to keep fundraising. Thank you for your support! : )
MommaKiss says:
Thank you.
Thank you thank you thank you!! This is perfect as we're doing lots of fundraising for the Komen 3-Day walk (next summer!)
Tricia at Mom is the Only Girl says:
I'm so glad I found your site in my search for a breast cancer button for my blog (which, by the way I can't find! Can you believe it?!) I sent this link to my mom who is part of a cancer support group that doesn't often get on the internet! I think this package of printables will take their fund raising up a notch! Thank you!
Heather - Chickabug says:
You inspired me to make some buttons - thank you!! : )

Had to take a second and say thank you so much for sharing this awesome set. I have spent the past two days dipping pretzels, sprinkling with PINK and making adorable tags to tie on them with your kit.... This evening, pretzel packs went to our High School's PINK OUT Volleyball Breast Cancer fundraiser. This weekend a friend will be sharing many more at a sorority fundraiser and on Mon. I will be sharing with our entire faculty at school. All in memory of my crafting buddy and Aunt. Thanks again!
Heather - Chickabug says:
You are so sweet, Denise! Thank you! : ) I'm so glad these came in handy for so many events. I'm impressed by all your fundraising efforts!!

Jennifer Sciarra says:
October is my favorite month because of all the Breast Cancer Awareness going on. I'm really involved in my Sorority Alumnae Chapter and this is our philanthropy. I'm always excited to see others so involved. Thank you so much for posting this to spread the word. The printables are beautiful!
amber says:

Bcantrell says:
absolutely unbelievable! I host a big fundraiser/fashion show each year for my store and I knew in my pinterest "free Printables" folder I would find something. This is such an answered prayer! My event is Friday and this will all make it incredible. SOO excited! Thank you thank you thank you chickabug! Love seeing your stuff on HDS also.!
Heather - Chickabug says:
You are so sweet! Thank you!! I'm glad that this set is what you needed for your event. : ) If you take any pictures, send them my way - I'd LOVE to see!
Heather - Chickabug says:
I'm so glad you helped spread the word - thank you so much! : )
Lostamongmillers says:
Thank you so much for providing all of this for free! I am on a very tight budget this year and was worried about how well I could pull off a serious fundraiser. Skipping fundraising for breast cancer simply isn't an option in my house but, I definitely don't want my party to be a joke when I want to reach people and solicit donations. I hope these printables will help me achieve the same level of elegance shown in your photos :-)
Heather - Chickabug says:
Your message just gave me happy chills down my spine! Seriously! Situations like yours are just what I had in mind when I designed the set. : ) Let me know how the fundraiser goes - I just know it'll be lovely!
Twinstar00 says:
This is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing as I will be using this for my fundraising efforts, as I am planning to walk in the Komen 3-Day for the Cure!
Chris says:
Thank you so much for these! I passed this site on to a friend who holds a benefit every year. These will look great. :)
Amy says:
Thank You so much for these wonderful printables. I am participating in the Avon walk for Breast Cancer Boston in May 2012, I am planning a fundraising yard sale and these are just perfect!!!!
Shanda Braithwaite says:
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE what you have designed...and think you did an amazing job. I am fighting stg. 4 appendix cancer. It is an orphan cancer that gets to attention or funding for clinical trials. I am doing a huge benefit to raise awareness and fund clinical trial. Is there any way you might be willing to do these in a different color. The color of my cancer is amber. I would be willing to pay for the time in changing the designs. You did such a great job with these. Thanks for considering it...and please let me know.
Missy Fleeman says:
If the free printables are still available for breast cancer, I am very intersted. I am walking in the 3-day 60 mile Susan G. Komen walk in Cleveland in August, 2012. Thank you so much!
Heather says:
Hi Missy! You can download the printables using the link in the post up above - there's a button that says "click here to download." That's all you need to do to get them! : )
Debra says:
Hi, I've tried to use the button link to download the set of free printables for the Breast Cancer Awareness however, all I'm getting is a black screen that says "Missing PlugIn" ... I have no clue what to do. Help!!! I truly would love to have this download to use for my new ideas in baking for my co-workers & others. :)
Heather says:
I just emailed you directly, Debra! : )
Christine @ Pure Joy Events says:
Hi Heather, just wanted to let you know that I registered for the DC Avon Walk and will be using your printables to help raise funds. Thanks again for such a great collection.
Heather says:
That's wonderful Christine! I'm glad you can use these on a personal level, too, if you know what I mean! : )
Christine @ Pure Joy Events says:
The pictures from the bake sale are up on my blog: http://www.purejoyeventsblog.com/2012/02/avon-walk-for-breast-cancer-february.html
Rebecca Crosson says:
I love this!! I wish I could find this for Relay of Life!! I can't find anything cute like this to help me out!!! Any chance you have this for Relay for Life??
Heather says:
I'm sorry Rebecca, so far I only have the breast cancer printables as shown.
Ashley says:
Thank you so much for this! We are planning a bake sale to raise money for the Avon walk and this has saved a tremendous amount of time scouring the internet. Thanks again!
Heather says:
You're so welcome, Ashley! Good luck with your bake sale! : )
