The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileIt is estimated that 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime. In Montana, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among women, and the second most common cause of cancer deaths.
With the support of Dr. David Bellamah and Bellamah Vein Center, we are asking the community to join us in supporting breast health patients with a gift to our Ava Nicole Breast Health Fund. Started in 2009 by Ava Michelle Weaver Knowles and Nicole Taule, the Ava Nicole Breast Health Fund provides assistance to patients with financial need for screenings and care-related items, and professional development scholarships for provider education so that we can ensure Western Montana breast health patients are receiving the highest quality of care. Recently, a recipient sent a card sharing these sentiments:
I am so grateful for your assistance in meeting my medical expense. As a single parent suddenly faced with healthcare costs, my heart was uplifted to receive such generosity and be able to feel immense relief. My family and I send our heartfelt thanks!
Gifts to our Ava Nicole Breast Health Fund are more important than ever during the pandemic as community members face added financial and other stressors. Your gift will stretch even further this year, as Bellamah Vein Center will match up to $2,000.
Dr. Bellamah and Bellamah Vein Center have a personal commitment to the fight against breast cancer. Dr. Bellamah's mother, family members, and patients have all suffered greatly in the fight against breast cancer and he hopes to inspire others to become educated about the fight against breast cancer.
Bellamah Vein Center is proud to be involved with the fight against breast cancer with Foundation for Community Health's Ava Nicole Breast Health Fund in memory of my mother. We have donated for years and plan to continue our commitment to the community in the future."
