Another $100,000 Donated for Uninsured Women

May 11 2006, Everett — Another $100,000 donation to support free mammograms was presented today to the Washington State Department of Health by the Breast Cancer Prevention Fund.  The charitable donation will support the Breast and Cervical Health
Program to provide mammograms to Washington women who would otherwise be unable

to afford screening.

The check for $100,000 (presented to Pama Joyner, program director for the state’s Washington Breast and Cervical Health Program) is the second donation made in the last

three months, bringing the total for 2006 to $200,000. 

The Breast Cancer Prevention Fund was founded in 2004 for the purpose of saving lives through education and breast cancer screenings.   The Breast Cancer prevention Fund has

now donated $200,000.00 within the last 3 months.

The Fund’s website, www.breastcancerpreventionfund.org, provides research-based information on performing a breast self-exam, causes, diagnosis, prevention, and risk factors

for breast cancer, and important information on the efficacy of mammograms.  Also included

are numerous links to other sites, including support and counseling groups, as well as a

request form for uninsured or underinsured women who want a mammogram.
