Success Stories
In memory of Mary!
In April of 2006, Mary Lukacs of Pulteney, NY passed away after two bouts with breast cancer. A few months later, her younger sister, Ann Davison reached out to SCORE Rochester to ask for assistance. Mary's family and friends had formed a non-profit organization, created to provide individuals in our area the means to pay for an MRI for breast cancer screening. They had held a successful fund-raiser and needed help with planning their next steps. 
SCORE counselor Bob Zinnecker provided Davison, Mary's husband Joseph Campbell and others with Board development information and advice on the other topics that were of concern to the non-profit organization.
Jennifer LaMarche, the current secretary of the organization says, "The Board often has questions and ideas about which direction to take the fund. We will continue to use SCORE as a valuable resource." Find out more.
