Reported by: Karen Hopkins Wednesday, Oct 1, 2008 @03:15pm CDT Wednesday is the first day of breast cancer awareness month, and Texarkana is going pink.
The Wadley foundation held a fundraiser, and supporters paid ten dollars to wear the “Texarkana Goes Pink” t-shirt. "We want to regenerate Texarkana and get into the mood for breast cancer awareness month," Wadley Medical Center spokesperson Shelby Brown said. Wadley will also host a fundraising event this Friday, called “Bringing Hope Home.” The keynote speaker is Robin Roberts, and tickets for the speech are still on sale. Wadley is working to raise about $450,000 to buy MR breast imaging technology. Women in Texarkana, who want an MRI, currently have to go out of town. |
