    ¡GRITAR! ¡Crearemos una canción de video personalizada para ti! Envíe una canción personalizada a un amigo oa usted mismo en forma aislada para ayudar a mantener nuestros programas de salud de los senos y brindarle la alegría que tanto necesita. ¡DONA Y CANTA! Estamos en tiempos desesperados. Covid-19 puede haber cancelado casi todo, ¡pero no el cáncer de mama! Su donación de $ 20 (o más) a nuestro "Sing Out!" La campaña de recaudación de fondos nos ayudará a continuar brindando educación gratuita sobre la salud de los senos, mamografías y asistencia directa a pacientes con cáncer de seno con pelucas, apoyo y recursos. Al mismo tiempo, puede traer una alegría y una sonrisa muy necesarias durante este momento preocupante. Al enviar una canción de video personalizada alegre que creamos a un amigo, ser querido o cualquier persona que elija (incluido usted mismo), puede ayudarlos a no sentirse tan aislados y temerosos. Aquí hay un ejemplo de nuestra primera canción alegre enviada a los Dres. ¡Gawley y San Pedro! ¡DONA Y CANTA! Hoy recibimos una llamada de una mujer llamada Jennifer que encontró un bulto en su seno y no tiene seguro para cubrir su mamografía que podría salvarle la vida. Jennifer perdió su trabajo en la industria de restaurantes debido al Coronavirus y le preocupa cómo pagar la comida para ella y sus hijos. Ahora, a ella también le preocupa cómo encontrar fondos para una mamografía. Su donación nos ayudará a proporcionarle a Jennifer una mamografía que potencialmente podría salvarle la vida. El cáncer de mama afecta a 1 de cada 8 mujeres y hay muchas más mujeres como Jennifer que necesitan nuestra ayuda. Actualmente, también proporcionamos una peluca nueva todos los días a una mujer que se somete a quimioterapia para el cáncer de mama. No estaba en nuestro presupuesto posponer nuestra gala y la mayor fuente de financiamiento, por lo que necesitamos su ayuda para mantener nuestros invaluables programas de salud de los senos que impactan las vidas de las mujeres de Arizona y sus familias. ¡Nuestra comunidad necesita tu ayuda ahora más que nunca! Así que "Sing Out" con tu donación. Mostraremos nuestro agradecimiento por todas las donaciones con una canción personalizada que creamos para usted o alguien que le importa. $ 20 se suman para ayudar a mantener nuestros programas $ 150 proporcionarán a una mujer una mamografía que le salvará la vida $ 250 proporcionarán a una mujer que lucha contra el cáncer de mama una nueva peluca gratis y un sentido de normalidad y dignidad $ 2,500 proporcionarán todas las pruebas para una mujer desde la detección hasta el diagnóstico ¡Cada donación de Sing Out recibirá una canción de video personalizada de un minuto para un amigo que elijas! Se le pedirá, después de su donación, que complete un breve cuestionario sobre la estrella en esta canción de video. Seremos creativos a partir de ahí y comenzaremos a componer tu canción personalizada para 'Sing Out!' ¡Somos más fuertes juntos y más fuertes que Covid-19! ¡Gritar! ¡Canta en voz alta! Comparta nuestra campaña Sing Out con otras personas que deseen regalar una canción y una sonrisa a alguien especial mientras hacen una diferencia en la lucha contra el cáncer de mama. ¡Enviando buena salud, positividad y vitalidad a usted y a las personas cercanas a usted! ¡DONA Y CANTA!

Our Story In 2009, at the young age of thirty-nine, I was reminded by my childhood friend Shelley Sakala, with a playful posting on Facebook to perform a self-breast exam. I did and discovered a lump that turned out to be breast cancer. I was very fortunate in finding my cancer in the early stages and was able to save my breasts and, more importantly, my life. I endured nine months of treatment, including two surgeries, 4 months of chemotherapy and 2 months of radiation, During that time my family and me were showered with kindness, compassion and generosity by our community. We had meals delivered to our home for weeks at a time by friends and strangers. We had friends show up at our doorstep with yellow gloves on ready to scrub our floors. We had neighbors bring by wigs, cards, flowers, and people offering to help with our kids. Not only did I have my physical community but I had an online community on Facebook as well. There was always someone cheering me on and cheering me up when I was at my lowest moments. I was so grateful for every act of kindness that I decided I wanted to do something to give back to my community. I must give God this credit as well, as I felt like he was pushing me on to a path that He wanted me to follow. I also wanted to ensure that I was leaving a legacy that my daughters could be proud of just-in-case . . . and so with the help of another childhood friend, Kate Kunberger, I started Check for a Lump. Our mission was simple. We wanted to motivate other women to perform breast self-exams in the hopes of detecting breast cancer in the early stages. Shortly after our non-profit was founded we discovered that our foundation had great potential. We chose to implement a second program with our funds to directly assist breast cancer patients. Our Wig Out program provides free wigs to women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer treatment in Arizona. As time went on we continued to educate ourselves and, in doing so, discovered the need for education regarding prevention of breast cancer in our community. We have taken our educational outreach program to the next level with the help of our sponsors, community grants and supporters. We have also formed great relationships with other non-profits, hospitals, doctors, and breast cancer related businesses in our community in order to more efficiently achieve our goals. In the short amount of time we have been in existence, we have established our foundation as a prominent figure in the breast cancer community. We could not have achieved any of this with out the amazing support of our family, friends, and community. Continually, I’m overwhelmed by the generous acts of kindness that surrounds us. I’m also forever grateful for the path that God has placed me upon. Thank you everyone for your support! Together we are making a difference! Live and Give, Holly Rose

Special thank you to our very own Laura Pentsa and Girl Scout Troop #7286 for making our non-toxic products and leaving a legacy of health! As we planned the Super Survivor Kits, we realized this was an amazing opportunity for our community to shine and use their talents to express their care. Our programs director, Laura began teaching her daughter’s girl scout troop the recipes. The girls loved the project and learning why non-toxic ingredients are so important. In just one night their troop made over 100 individual containers of homemade laundry detergent for the kits! The girls were overjoyed with their accomplishment and are continuing to learn more recipes to fill the kits! Our wonderful NCL volunteers have been making beautiful lavender infused eye masks. A local church, heard about the new program and within the week had bags of blankets made and ready to bring a bit of comfort. One woman heard the need and immediately left to buy fabric for the hot/cold packs. So! What has this revealed to us? People care! People want to show their support! People have many talents! And this Super Survivor Kit can be a way for all of them to collaborate with us and show each survivor that the community is there cheering them on and caring! We care about YOU!
