WOMANKIND RECEIVES AVON
GRANT
The Avon Foundation Breast Care Fund has
awarded a $40,000 one-year grant to WomanKind to increase awareness
of the life-saving benefits of early detection of breast cancer.
It is the first year that the agency has received Avon Foundation
funding to support its work on this important health issue.
The WomanKind Avon Breast Health Program will
increase outreach, education and screening activities to the underserved
women in our community. WomanKind will provide clinical breast
exams at our medical office on Northside Drive. Additionally, thanks
to generous funding from the Zonta Club of Key West, WomanKind
will refer qualified, uninsured women for free mammograms at Lower
Keys Medical Center.
“We are proud that the Avon Foundation
shares our mission and has chosen to support our program. With
these funds we will be able to increase the number of low-income,
uninsured women receiving crucial breast cancer screenings” says
Betsy Langan, MSW, Executive Director of WomanKind.
