Attendees at the 2015 Education and Advocacy Day Conference

We attend health fairs and events throughout the year providing educational materials to all parts of Miami-Dade County about breast health and breast cancer awareness. This was the booth at the 2015 Homestead Rodeo with some of the volunteers who helped man the booth.

We invite small grassroots breast cancer organizations to join us at our conferences without any charge to the organizations. Our goal is to make certain that all breast cancer organizations work in partnership to provide resources within the Miami-Dade County.
