Shop and Contribute to Breast Cancer Awareness this Month at I Am More Scarsdale

I Am More Scarsdale is thrilled to announce its 9th Annual "Breast Cancer Awareness" fundraising campaign, scheduled to run throughout the entire month of October.

In partnership with White Plains Hospital, I Am More is dedicated to raising funds to provide mammograms and associated services to uninsured and underserved women in Westchester County.

The stark statistics reveal that 1 in 8 women in the United States will confront breast cancer during her lifetime. Recognizing cancer risks, adhering to regular screenings, and adopting a healthy lifestyle are essential measures women can take to mitigate their vulnerability.

Disparities in screening mammography and barriers to accessing breast cancer screening are most prevalent among racial/ethnic minority and low-income women. Consequently, due to delayed screening, these women face a higher risk of being diagnosed with advanced-stage breast cancer compared to the general population, leading to increased breast cancer mortality rates. One significant barrier to early detection is the financial burden associated with mammographic screening.

Here's how you can contribute:

-Visit I Am More Scarsdale during the month of October.

-With a $20 donation, you can "Spin the Wheel" for a chance to win two $250 gift cards and additional prizes throughout the month.

-Purchase a pair of Indie Pink Hope Flip Flops ($60). 50% of the proceeds will be donated, with automatic entree into raffle with purchase.

-Please consider making an additional tax-deductible donation toward the below patient needs (http://www.wphospital.org/iammore)

$50 – will help provide reliable transportation to cancer care appointments.
Many women lack access to reliable transportation, which often leads to rescheduled or missed appointments and deferred care, which can result in poor prognosis. Therefore, transportation assistance is vital in ensuring that these women can access essential treatments.

$100 – will offset the cost of a mammogram for a woman in need.
Mammograms save lives! They have been a cornerstone in the fight against breast cancer, contributing to a nearly 40% reduction in breast cancer mortality in the U.S. since 1990.

$250 – will provide a wig to a cancer patient undergoing active treatment.
Wigs provide crucial support by helping cancer patients regain a sense of normalcy, confidence, and control over their appearance during a difficult period of treatment, ultimately enhancing their overall well-being and quality of life.
