Duval Acura Donation Helps Provide Free Mammograms For Uninsured Women

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - April 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Kevin Snyder, Duval Acura President/COO, and Dr.Jennie Yoon Buchanan, met recently to discuss the purchase of several dozen handmade monogrammed neck pillows, designed by the doctor. The proceeds from this purchase by Duval Acura will be donated to the fund Dr. Buchanan launched in 2010.

Snyder's support of the fund, grew from a chance meeting with Dr. Buchanan's husband Larry, a long time Duval Acura customer. It was during their conversation that the Acura COO learned about the founding of the breast cancer fund and its mission of providing free mammograms to uninsured women.

After hearing the fund's history and the news that more than two dozen women who received free mammograms, had their breast cancers found in time to cure their cancer, Snyder realized the importance of his support for this life saving fund.

Dr. Buchanan, medical director of womens imaging for Florida Hospital, designs and sews the neck pillows that were purchased, mainly to be provided to Duval Acura customers.

For additional details about the fund please contact: Dr. Buchanan at Jennie Yoon Buchanan MD Breast Cancer Fund by email (DrYoon@pinkispowerful.com).

Summary: Dr. Buchanan states she created the compact and durable pillows as a fund rasing project for the fund she founded. They are designed for use on long trips, by car or airplane and provide firm, yet comfortable support for the head and neck.
