Delta Air Lines sponsors breast cancer awareness walk in Ghana

The 13th Annual Breast Care International Walk for the Cure took place in Kumasi, Ghana, drawing around 30,000 participants, including survivors, healthcare professionals, students, traditional leaders, and advocates. Delta Air Lines served as the title sponsor for the event, which focuses on raising breast cancer awareness and promoting early detection, particularly among women in rural areas of West Africa.

Over the past decade, Delta’s partnership with Breast Care International (BCI) has contributed to more than 20,000 Ghanaians being screened for breast cancer. Nearly 2,000 suspected cases were identified that might have otherwise gone undetected. Additionally, over 150,000 people have received education about breast cancer awareness. Targeted campaigns have provided free screenings to more than 65,000 women in rural communities, helping to improve healthcare access for underserved populations.

“At Delta, we believe our purpose extends beyond connecting cities—it’s about connecting with people and supporting the communities we serve,” said Michael Thomas, General Manager of Delta Global Communications. “Our partnership with BCI has allowed us to reach thousands of women and families across Ghana with life-saving education and screenings.”
