items for everyone. Maimah Karmo Founder of Tigerlily Foundation and Dr Grace Keenan, Medical Director at Nova Medical & Urgent Care Centers thanked everyone for helping raise awareness and the importance of young women understanding their own bodies and that breast cancer does affect women under the age of forty.
The icing on the cake was that the attendance doubled from last year’s as well as the money raised at the end of the evening. last year they raised $2,418 for Breast Cancer Network of Strength, this year they raised $5,850 for Tigerlily Foundation. Next year they hope to double this year’s success!
