Our Local Fight Breast Cancer Walk to Be Held in Corona, CA

Aug. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- On Saturday, September 25th the City of Corona will turn pink for a day.  That’s when thousands of Inland Empire residents will meet at the Promenade Shops of Dos Lagos to take a stand against Breast Cancer and walk to save lives in the 12th annual Our Local Fight – Breast Cancer Walk.  

Last year more than 4,500 men, women and children participated in the event which is hosted by The Foundation for Community and Family Health.  The purpose of Our Local Fight is to fund the Breast Health Detection program run by The Foundation for Community and Family Health.  “While other walks raise money for national or global research, all proceeds from our Walk stay right here in our community and provide direct diagnostic support for women and men in need through our Health Detection program,” shared Dr. Anthony Pirritano, Chairman of the Board for the Foundation.

The Breast Health Detection program was created to bridge the gap in service to women under 50 who have no medical insurance or who are underinsured.  The program is responsible for providing women in our community with critical breast health diagnostic care including mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies and women’s health education. The Foundation also offers a support group for survivors and those currently going through treatment to connect and wigs and scarf’s are provided to women through a partnership with local community organization Slick Chicks.

The Foundation for Community and Family Health strives to combat breast cancer by expanding and increasing the access to quality cancer detection and diagnostic services for our community.  The success of the program is a reflection of the joint effort between the Foundation and local authorized medical providers in the Inland Empire. Also significant steps are being made to educate women about the benefits of screening and early detection through our Women’s Health Awareness day, an annual event providing speakers, education and activities to our community.

This year your company can contribute to the successful efforts of the Foundation by forming a Walk team.  Teams who have participated in past walks report an incredible experience and sense of pride in their efforts to make a difference in the lives of families facing Breast Cancer.  Make this your cause!  Form a team and make a difference.  The team with the largest number of walkers and the team raising the most money for the cause will be recognized, enjoy marketing exposure after the Walk and will have a team photos taken that will be used in future advertising.

Every 13 minutes, a life is lost to Breast Cancer.
Every step you take can help to save the life of a woman in our community.
PLEASE join us in the fight.
