Twenty-three women took advantage of free bone density screenings and 50 women visited the informational table to learn about breast cancer prevention and early detection. Retail associates sold Breast Cancer Research semi-postal stamps with 11 cents of each stamp going to breast cancer research. Close to $200 worth of stamps were sold at the event.

Remember as others have survived, you will survive, as I am a breast cancer survivor!" she said.
