Cancer Awareness

 We did it!!! We made our goal for June -- Click on graphic for more information.
Click here to help fund free Mammograms. It costs you nothing to help make early detection and survival possible. Funding is paid by site sponsors and goes to the nonprofit National Breast Cancer Foundation, who uses it to grant access to mammography to women in need. You can click once per day.

Pass it along as a way to fight breast cancer all year long!

Jan 9, 2008 - I received the following letter from the "Help Fund Free Mammograms with one click"

Ann Viverito

Dear Supporter,

Happy New Year! We want to sincerely thank you for your unwavering support in 2007. Dedicated supporters like you clicked and shopped to raise vital funding to give free mammograms to thousands of women in need.

Together, we provided 7,151 mammograms for uninsured, working poor and homeless women across the United States--that's over 1,500 more women helped in 2007 than last year! Funding for 3,801 mammograms was generated thanks to daily clicks on the pink button, while the remaining 3,349 mammograms were funded by purchases made in The Breast Cancer Site store.

Resolve to do more in 2008! Your actions at The Breast Cancer Site benefit women in need while spreading an important message of early detection...

Thanks for your ongoing commitment to the cause!

Sincerely,

signature- Tim Kunin, Greg Hesterberg

 

CANCER - a word that strikes fear into the hearts of its victims; AWARENESS - the first line of defense against this deadly disease.

Breast Cancer is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of death among women. Doctors' projections suggest 400,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. Only about 200,000 will survive. To influence the latter number every women must become aware of the symptoms, insist on full cancer screening at annual physicals, have regular mammograms and be ever alert to anything that appears unusual.


As new advances in technology evolve, the treatment for breast, colon and skin cancer as well as leukemia and melanoma becomes more successful. The measure of success depends on early detection.

To support research and treatment of this deadly disease it is suggested that we donate $0.25 per member to Cancer Awareness. Please state which facility you would prefer these funds to support. If you do not indicate a choice, the contribution will be divided among the facilities at Strong Memorial in Rochester, Roswell Park in Rochester, Sloan Kettering in New York City, Stony Brook in Suffolk County.


AWARD: THE MARIE COOK PLAQUE:

To be awarded to the Unit with the greatest total donations to Cancer Awareness.
