October as you may know is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Not sure if it's been done before, but I'd like to suggest we all make an effort to fly pink rockets at one or more of our October launches, and if possible, take up a collection at a launch and donate to the national organization. Some specific suggestions:
1. https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month to find out more
2. A pink drag race. Load up the pads with pink rockets of all sizes and shape and (safely!) let 'em fly. A recording of this made available to local media would bring positive attention to the hobby and help a lot of people at the same time.
3. For collection, paint the booster section of a large (>= 4") rocket pink, prop it up near the launch table with a donations sign, and encourage folks to drop bills into it. Our club treasurers would handle the donation.
4. Club presidents: call or email your local media and invite them to one of the most unique events they are likely to see in support of BCAM.
5. National organizations (NAR, TRA, ..): do we use your names or not?
It may sound cliche, but all of us have friends and relatives, wives, mothers, sisters and daughters, so this seems like a great way to pitch in. So, go find that can of pink paint and let's get to it.
What does everyone think?
