October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But we all know that breast cancer doesn’t just happen in October. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. The pandemic caused thousands of women to delay their annual mammograms and the result has been more late-stage breast cancer diagnoses. African American women are diagnosed with breast cancer at an earlier age and with a more aggressive form of breast cancer. Early detection is the key to survival.
The Bridge Breast Network needs your help so we can serve more women. Your donation of $10 or more could save a life (see donation form below).
For every $1 donated, the Bridge Breast Network is able to receive 10 times that amount in medical care for our clients. Together we are building bridges of hopes and saving lives.
