Një Ditë Tjetër · Breast Cancer Awareness Event
A Celebration of Strength, Courage & Hope
On October 16, 2026, AAWO “Motrat Qiriazi” brought together members, friends, and supporters at Vista Ballroom in Long Island City for an unforgettable evening dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The evening was a celebration of courage, resilience, and the power of women supporting women. Through personal stories, heartfelt conversations, and shared experiences, we were reminded that hope grows stronger when we stand together.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mira Kazhani, author of Një Ditë Tjetër, for sharing her deeply personal journey through breast cancer.
Thank you also to the members who bravely shared their own stories, their journeys and their battles with breast cancer. Their courage moved everyone in the room, and in listening to one another, we found comfort in each other.
A special thank-you to Ana Marku Walsh, who generously donated $430 to AAWO from her jewelry sales during the event.
We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this evening so meaningful. Together, we continue to raise awareness, inspire hope, and remind every woman that she does not have to face cancer alone.
