Bunco for Breast Cancer 2010

The 7th Annual Bunco for Breast Cancer was held on February 27. Our Mountain Home group hosted the spectular and fun event for women from all over Southern Idaho. Our goal: to raise breast cancer awareness and donate funds to help women obtain mammograms who otherwise might not be able to afford the screening. We raised nearly $7,000 and donated the money to the St. Luke's Health Foundation, Boise, Idaho. A big shout-out to everyone - it's everyone's contributions that make this such a great event. It's the dollar bills, the five dollar bills, the fifty dollar bills, and yes, one hundred dollar bills (I was getting coffee one morning and a friend dug into her wallet and donated $100 right there on the spot). It's a tough year, some donors donated less, others donated more, and we are very thankful to each of you.

If you need a mammogram, or know of someone in need of a mammogram, call the St. Luke's Breast Cancer Detection Center, 208.706.2055. They will take very good care of you.
