In our first year, 1995, we educated just over 1,000 people about breast health. In the past 21 years, that number has grown to almost 300,000 people. We could not have reached so many without the immense contributions of the diverse group of organizations we have partnered with.

• Pink Aid grants have allowed us to reach socio-economically disadvantaged Long Islanders.

• The annual LI2Day Walk raised over $17,000 for us in 2015 alone.

• We have trained Molloy College nursing students how to educate their patients about breast health, and in turn their doctoral students have assisted in a review of our program literature.

In addition, our mission is continuously supported by generous gifts from organizations such as the Frank J. Antun Foundation, the Nassau County Bar Association WE CARE Fund, the 7th District Foundation, and the Nassau County Women’s Bar Association.

Without the help of these partners and many others, we could not fulfill our mission.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thanks For Making Our 2016 Pink Bowl A “Striking” Success!

Our 7th Annual Pink Bowl, sponsored by Sperry Federal Credit Union, took place Feb. 28 and raised almost $16,000! Compe-

Citibank) and John Manley (from AVZ).

Mammograms May Also Detect

Heart Disease

A new study, presented at the American College of Cardiology’s

Scientific Session in early April, is making headlines for its groundbreaking finding:

digital mammograms appear to detect early signs of heart disease as well as breast cancer.

The study shows that detecting calcium buildup in the breast’s arteries can lead to an even earlier diagnosis (and thus a better outcome) of heart disease—simply by examining mammograms that many women are already receiving every year. Essentially, this means we can now look at digital mammograms as a two-for-one screening tool, able to detect early signs of both breast cancer and heart disease.
