Every year, more than 200,000 Mississippi women aged 40 and over forego a screening mammogram, in many cases because they lack the finances or insurance coverage for the exam. For ten years, fund for the girls has helped break down the financial barrier that prevents some from seeking needed breast health services. Thanks to the vision of our founders, Dr. Barbie Sullivan, Terri McCarver, Ginger Cocke, and Dawn Cleveland, over $1.2 million has been raised for this vital cause.
Your tax deductible support of fund for the girls through the Baptist Health Foundation provides mammograms, ultrasounds, and biopsies for women who might not otherwise receive the care they need.
The sad fact is that Mississippi has the highest death rate for breast cancer in all of the United States. Your gift to fund for the girls can help reduce the statistics and provide life-saving services for Mississippians in need.
In honor of the 10th anniversary of fund for the girls, please join our campaign today!
