Just wanted to let you know that the Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center, part of Alta Bates/Summit Medical Group, will be having its first annual "Applause for the Cause" fundraiser. I am on the committee as a volunteer, helping to round up sponsors and support from the community. I've been so impressed by the generosity of so many people, including Genentech, Chloe & Jane, Sumbody, Sagawise Stones, Edible Arrangements, and o2 Marketing.
The Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center helps women, regardless of their ability to pay, to get important diagnostic procedures aimed at detecting breast cancer in its earliest stages. Early detection really is the cure, and I am doing my part to pay-it-forward and help this center elevate this most worthy cause and raise money for crucial educational resources and services. The Bay Area is a hot spot for breast cancer and most of you no doubt know someone who has been touched by this disease. Please let me know if you would like to help or participate. A little enthusiasm can help us a lot--even if it is passing out fliers or telling your girlfriends, sisters, aunts, mothers, brothers, husbands, fathers, grandparents, colleagues, etc.
"Applause for the Cause" will be on June 6, 2009, at the Oakland Marriott Convention Center. The guest performers are the legendary Dionne Warwick, Sinbad and the Oakland Youth Chorus. Tickets are now available at tix.com
