1 in 8 Women will face breast cancer, but thanks to UBCF, they can have a fighting chance
HUNTINGTON, N.Y., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Nasdaq Tower in Times Square shines a different kind of light in February: a beacon of hope and support for those facing breast cancer. United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) launches its stunning, seven-story digital video exhibit, reminding everyone that early detection saves lives.
Stephanie Mastroianni, Executive Director of UBCF, expresses her excitement, “UBCF is thrilled to be back in the heart of NYC’s Times Square on the Nasdaq billboard to inform people about the need for early detection breast screenings. When caught early, breast cancer has a high survival rate.”
Beyond simply illuminating Times Square, UBCF is shedding light on the pressing need for accessible breast screenings. Early detection affords a remarkable 99% five-year survival rate (ACS) – a message worth sharing. With one in eight women facing breast cancer, UBCF ensures that even those lacking insurance or grappling with financial obstacles can access vital screenings.
“There’s often a barrier to health care including screening services for younger people. That’s why UBCF’s Breast Screening Program is open to women and men regardless of age, race, gender, income, or even medical insurance coverage. So, if you’re underinsured, non-insured or your insurance plan does not cover screenings until you reach a certain age, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered,” declares Ms. Mastroianni.
The “Spread the Love” exhibit isn’t just pretty visuals. It’s a call to action: get screened, share the message, and support UBCF’s mission. No one should face breast cancer alone and UBCF is here for those in need.
UBCF’s Breast Screening Program is open to all, providing the opportunity for early detection and a fighting chance. Love knows no limits, neither should access to healthcare. Visit http://www.UBCF.org to learn more, access free screening resources, and donate to support UBCF.
