Hello ,
I am heading to San Francisco for the National Association of School Nurses Conference later this month, where I am honored to have been invited back to give my presentation, "Get In Touch with Breast Health - for Life!"
I'm doubly excited that I will also be the Keynote Speaker for one of the Conference's General Sessions, giving my presentation, "Choose Joy!" to those who serve on the front lines of health-care for the children in our great nation.
School Nurses from each state and even abroad will gather to network and attend four days of break-out sessions that arm them with the latest best school nursing practices to bring back to their own schools and communities.
They begin their summer vacation by putting our children first.
It is humbling to be in their company...and a real privilege to have been invited to be with them, again!
Hope Lives!
Mary Ann Wasil Nilan
President, CEO & Founder,
Breast Cancer Kickin' Survivor & Health Activist

Spotlight on Schools: Belle Chasse Academy
 School Nurse Kim Denesse at Belle Chasse Academy in Belle Chasse, LA recently delivered our Daisy Wheel© and Girls Program to 114 students. She writes:
"Our 'Git Your Pink On!®' Day was May 11, 2012. $360 was collected during the pink/jean day event. Our program was done during PE class over a 2 day period. The girls were very interested in learning how to perform the BSE. We also had 3 small models of a breast for the girls to palpate. One breast had examples of what a lump feels like, a second felt like fibrocystic tissue, and the third felt like normal breast tissue. We showed them an additional video called Breast Cancer Awareness - The Real Deal. Thanks again for the Daisy Wheels© - we really appreciated them!"
Thanks, Kim, for all you do to help change the world, one girl at a time! The funds raised by Belle Chasse Academy will pay it forward, helping us provide another school with Daisy Wheels© at no cost.

And...Calling All Musical Artists!
The Get In Touch Foundation is now on Genuine Caring, an online philanthropic music store. Do you know a musical artist who would like to help "change the world one girl at a time!"? If so, please share this link:
https://www.genuinecaring.com/
Genuine Caring says "You as the songwriters and/or artists play a critical and important role in the "triangle of hope" (song-charity-buyer). You along with the charity and the philanthropic music buyer create the 'seed of a miracle' and hope for those in need. GenuineCaring.com is the easiest way to give from your heart while, at the same time, having your talents be seen and be heard by others."
Now, we call that a win-win: exposure for artists, great new music for buyers, and donations for GIT. Click the logo above to check out our page on their site!
