The organization recently sent out 800 postcards to walkers who have participated in BreastFest in the past.

The annual event is held to help raise money for breast cancer research, detection and care.

From Our Hearts’ mission is to raise money to provide Breast Cancer Screening and Treatment to eligible Pine Island area residents. I am proud to let you know that From Our Hearts provided $73,000 worth of services from March 2011 to February 2012.

This included 158 mammograms, chemotherapy and radiation therapy for 10 women. This was a significant increase from years past, probably due to our area’s economic situation, but also because of the increased awareness of the need for Breast Cancer Screening.

Early detection is the key to a cure! If you or someone who lives in the Pine Island area needs a mammogram and cannot afford it, please call Partners for Breast Cancer Care (454-8583) and ask about the From Our Hearts Grant Program.

We are happy to announce our new members to the From Our Hearts 2012-2013 Board of Directors.
Tia Avens, Patty Burman, JoAnn D’Archangel, Patricia Downing, Mary Scott, John Thurston and Dona Wells.
