Breast Cancer Awareness Month Sees Corporate Partnerships for a Cure
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States. There is no way to prevent breast cancer but early detection is imperative to the successful treatment of breast
cancer; the more advanced the cancer the harder it is to treat
effectively. You can learn more about breast cancer by going to our website.
John Wayne Cancer Institute has partnered with several corporations interested in doing good. We'd like to highlight a few of the following corporations to say thank you for their generosity and all the help (and hope) they have given. |
