“In our fourth year, I am happy to see our mission is on track bringing all forms of arts and entertainment together to deliver our message and educate the communities we serve,” said Andrea JohnBaptiste, co-chair of Save the Twinz: Live PINK.
Save the Twinz”: Live PINK! has partnered with SunLife OBGYN Services and POM MRI to provide wellness screenings for breast, ovarian and uterine cancer to a select group of women. All proceeds raised at the Save the Twinz events will be donated to pay for much-needed care for those women who fall through the cracks: fit neither the age and insurance restrictions nor have the money to pay for these procedures.
The committee will also present U.S. Congressman Alcee Hastings; Rose Poole, Relay for Life- City of Fort Lauderdale; and Tarra Murray, Holy Cross Hospital with the “Save the Twinz” Champion Award for their service of excellence in the fight against breast cancer.
In just three years, Save the Twinz: Live PINK! has raised more than $50,000 for a cure for cancer and to ensure that women, who are uninsured, have access to medical interventions. For more information, call 754-223-9638 or email savethetwinzlivepink@gmail.com.
