PlantScape, a local small business, is proud to present a substantial donation to the Dominica Cancer Society in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month On November 8th, 2023, Ms. Joy-Ann Alie, the owner and CEO of PlantScape, presented a monetary contribution, which was as a result of the successful Pinktober Promotion held
throughout the entire month of October.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, PlantScape launched a special initiative to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. The Pinktober Promotion campaign featured customized pink planters potted with vibrant pink Chinese evergreen plants. This initiative resonated deeply with customers and supporters who sought to express their solidarity with breast cancer survivors and contribute to the Dominica Cancer Society’s mission.

Ms. Alie, inspired by personal experience, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the public for their unwavering support during this campaign. She shared, “Breast cancer awareness is a cause very close to my heart. In 2016, I lost my dear sister, Cynthia Alie, to this dreaded disease, and ever since, I have been driven to contribute to the cause, aiming to provide support to those in the fight. This donation will play a vital role in the society’s efforts towards breast cancer prevention, treatment, and care. I am deeply humbled by the overwhelming support from my customers and friends and I am committed to making this an annual initiative.”
