Hello Everyone
CELEBRATING
OUR HERITAGE EVENT , held February 19–22, 2009 in Atlanta, GA was an absolute success! I was honored to
be given The Good Deeds International Civic Leadership Award on behalf
of my work with the Foundation. The event was spectacular! In addition
to the events & the activities that took place, we had the pleasure of
meeting several people from Atlanta, Cleveland, North Carolina, Alabama,
LA, Oakland, Virginia, Seattle, and Las Vegas. A very special thank you to all of
you who supported the Foundation by purchasing one of our pink items. We
truly appreciate your support.

JAWANDA’s FUNDRAISER:
The fundraiser and birthday celebration for Jawanda was an absolute
success! The event was held at The Marmon Grand on Sunday, March 22nd.
It was a joy to see so many steppers in support of Jawanda. For those of
you unaware of the reasoning for the event, Jawanda suffered a
devastating brain injury after an automobile accident. Although she is
doing better, she is going to need financial assistance to offset the
enormous expenses related to her illness and long term recovery. If you
were not able to make it and would still like to make a donation please
contact: Yvette O’Donnell: 708-951-1303 or Leslie Roberts: 305-775-3705

EARLY DETECTION:
BREAST THERMOGRAPHY > > Better Than Mammograms?
How do we detect changes in breast tissue BEFORE they develop into
masses? Digital Infrared Thermography of the breast can detect
changes in heat patterns produced from increased circulation around
damaged, precancerous and cancerous cells. This effective diagnostic
screening involves no radiation, no compression of breast tissue, and no
pain.
Illinois SAC Program:
STAND AGAINST CANCER PROGRAM. Are you or someone you know uninsured or
underinsured? Have you been diagnosed with cancer (of any kind)? The SAC
Program provides clinical breast exams, pap smears, mammograms and other
services at NO COST.

The Best defense against breast cancer is a good offense. There are no perfect
solutions, but you can do many things to reduce your risk of developing the
disease.
Risk Factors
Alcohol consumption. Studies have shown that breast cancer
risk increases with the amount of alcohol a woman drinks. Alcohol can
limit your liver’s ability to control blood levels of the hormone
estrogen, which in turn can increase risk.
The Pink Chain:
Please forward this letter to as many people as you can.
