We raise money throughout the year by selling merchandise with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the financial assistance fund. Through the Blessing Foundation, the Breast Center Financial Assistance Fund is also privileged to benefit from the generosity of individuals and event organizers throughout the community. This fund pays for women to have screening, diagnostic mammograms and other diagnostic testing, as well as breast biopsies. It also helps us provide educational opportunities for the community and staff.
