Today was
BRA Day USA 2012
Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day!
NWACPS, along with numerous other supporters, hosted a luncheon at Mermaids in Fayetteville to honor our breast reconstruction patients, and with the hope to raise awareness of this treatment as an option for women with breast cancer.
Did you know that 7/10 women don't realize this is an option for them when they are diagnosed with breast cancer?!?
It was a packed house for our first event, with 118 in attendance!
Amber and Erica sold ribbons and t-shirts.
Both are available at the clinic for purchase - t-shirts for $10 and ribbons for $3.
