The event on Saturday, Oct. 26 will feature free mammography and cancer screenings, along with family activities, food and raffles
West Palm Beach, FL – Promise Fund, the Palm Beach County-based non-profit whose mission is to increase survivorship from breast and cervical cancer by elevating public awareness on the importance of screening and early detection, will host its first Community Wellness Fair on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10AM – 2PM, at Manatial de Vida of Church of All Nations, 1300 NW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL 33432.
The event will feature free mammography and cancer screenings for non-insured and under-insured attendees, and an opportunity to speak with medical professionals on breast and cervical cancer issues, and other health-related matters. A family-friendly event, it will also include complimentary food, a bounce house for the kids, food trucks, raffles, and more. Promise Fund Navigators and staff will be on hand to answer questions in Spanish, Creole, and English.
“There are upwards of 100,000 women in our community who are either under-insured or with no access to healthcare at all,” said Nancy Brinker, Promise Care Founder. “Our goal is to ensure that these women have access to mammograms, the first and most critical step in the process of early detection and care.”
Those interested in receiving a mammogram must register in advance by calling 877-427-7664. The screening is completely free and will be facilitated by multiple mammogram vans that will be onsite. Promise Fund Navigators will work on registering attendees and any next steps.
