Supporting Women In Our Community
In partnership with the Martha Jefferson Hospital Foundation, the 2020 Keeper for a Cure Campaign will support breast cancer treatment and prevention programs at Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital's Philips Cancer Center. 100% of every gift will directly impact the lives of local women in our community in their fight against breast cancer by making possible programs such as:
- Free Breast Health Screening Days where hundreds of women over the years have received access to mammograms and clinical breast exams;
- Marianne's Room at the Philips Cancer Center where women are provided with free wigs, scarves and image recovery support;
- The High Risk Breast Cancer Center, which identifies approximately 1,000 women each year as high-risk for developing breast cancer;
- Caring Embrace Shawls knitted by community volunteers to keep patients warm during their chemotherapy treatments;
- Therapeutic Massage to ease pain
Your gift will make programs like these possible - thus making life better for the brave women in our community who are fighting cancer. COVID-19 has presented great challenges for us all, underscoring the importance of our remaining focused on protecting our community's health and supporting life-saving programs at Sentara Martha Jefferson.
