POTTSTOWN, PA (May 29, 2008) – The Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC), in conjunction with Coventry Mall, brings its traveling photo exhibit, "67 Women, 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania," to Chester County. The photo exhibit will be displayed throughout Coventry Mall June 5 - 15.
This educational work of art features women from each of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties, along with a message about how breast cancer has touched their lives. The women reflect the diversity of Pennsylvania, and their stories reflect the impact of breast cancer on them, their families and their communities. The exhibit encourages women to learn about early detection and celebrates life, courage, hope and dignity of women and families who have battled breast cancer.
Pat Halpin-Murphy, PBCC President and Founder, encourages everyone to visit the exhibit. "Breast cancer is not a rare event separate from the fabrics of our everyday lives. It affects our mothers, daughters and friends. We must educate ourselves about this disease and fight to find a cure now…so our daughters won’t have to."
An opening reception is scheduled for Thursday, June 5 at 6 p.m. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. To RSVP for the opening reception, please call 1-800-377-8828 x303.
"67 Women, 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania" is sponsored by the PBCC and funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The exhibit travels to several select Pennsylvania communities each year and has been to more than 90 communities since its launch more than ten years ago.
The PBCC, founded in 1993, is a non-profit organization and the only statewide grassroots organization that speaks to and for breast cancer survivors. The PA Breast Cancer Coalition represents, supports and serves Pennsylvania breast cancer survivors and their families through educational programming, legislative advocacy and unique outreach initiatives. The PBCC is a statewide non-profit organization that creates the hope of a brighter tomorrow by providing action and information to women with breast cancer today.
