As part of their anniversary, the two organizations marked 10 years of partnership at the 2026 BCI Walk for the Cure in Mampong, Ashanti Region. More than 166,000 people have been reached with breast cancer education, with over 22,500 people screened and nearly 2,100 suspected cases identified. The program has also reached over 70,100 women through targeted rural screening initiatives. The event brought together survivors, healthcare professionals, community leaders, and thousands of participants under the theme \"Our Walk, Our Fight, Our Future\". Delta's Operations Service Manager, Sarah Annan, expressed pride in the milestone but acknowledged there is still work to be done. BCI's President and Founder, Dr Beatrice Wiafe Addai, thanked Delta for helping to reach communities that might have been left out. The focus remains on expanding breast cancer education and screening, encouraging people to seek timely medical attention, and addressing barriers to early detection.",
