WHY: Cancer is the leading cause of death among Asian-American women; and Filipinos have the HIGHEST DEATH RATE from breast cancer than any other Asian-American group.

Our goals for this free community event are to:

2) Provide referrals for screening and medical care to those at risk; and

3) Raise awareness about breast cancer among Filipinos.

For information, call (818) 409-8100.

This event is being held in memory of Ms. Alva Marie Argonza. She passed away within one year of being diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer (June 18, 2008). She was only 35 years old.
