Christmas
Mammogram
For
one employee who
works at a Shell
convenience
store located in
Florida City,
Florida he, his
wife and
daughter all decided that the
spirit of
Christmas is
giving to others
and decided that
giving his last
paycheck from
Gateway Shell in
Florida City to
Pink Campaigns
for OPERATION
FREE
CHRISTMAS
MAMMOGRAMS would
assist some
women with a
free mammogram
this year. He
Said’ “We as a
society are
constantly
giving to family
members,
charities for
the homeless,
gifts for the
needy children
and many
children’s
hospitals for
the children
that will not be
home for
Christmas. He
decided to help
women whose
health is at
risk and may not
be here for next
Christmas.”
OPERATION
CHRISTMAS FREE
MAMMOGRAMS will
help women
who need
a mammogram and
whose needs are
forgotten as
most of us place
our own needs
above others.
He said, "I am a
firm believer in
helping women
today after all
it was a woman
who gave birth
to each of us
and nurtured us
through our
childhoods.
There is always
a woman there
for us when we
fall whether she
is your mother,
wife, or
girlfriend and
this Christmas
we want to make
sure that they
receive the care
that they need
in their time of
need."
Update: December
18, 2009
Today the Shell
employee who
wishes to remain
anonymous
donated his
entire check to
Operation
Free Christmas
Mammogram.
His employer
doubled his
donation which
was a nice
surprise. Now we
will be able to
provide 13 more
free mammograms
this Christmas.
Most of the
mammograms will
take place after
Christmas. One
of the local
hospitals has
also offered to
provide 20 free
mammograms
bringing to a
total of 33 free
mammograms for
Miami-Dade
county alone.
You can still
help with your
generous tax
deductible
donation.
gets underway
December 1st
2009
December 1st,
2009 marks another
milestone for
Pink Campaigns as we
kick off
Operation Free
Christmas
Mammograms. With
an estimated
200,000 women
nationwide
needing
mammograms we
have our work
cut out for us
this year. Since
we still do not
have enough
money to buy our
Mobile Screening
Units for each
of the 50 states
we must contact
local hospitals,
clinics and
doctors to
provide free
mammograms.
Breast Cancer Case Exceedingly Uncommon; Doctors Warn Media Spotlight Could Lead to Panic
For many of the estimated 180,000 women whose doctors will tell them they have breast cancer this year, the diagnosis will no doubt come as a shock.
But for the parents of 10-year-old Hannah Powell-Auslam of Fullerton, Calif., who learned in early April that their daughter had breast cancer, the news was particularly hard to swallow.
"It should be the furthest thing from your mind," Hannah's mother Carrie Auslam told reporters from KCAL-TV in Los Angeles. "Ten-year-olds don't get breast cancer."
For Hannah, the realization that she would have to deal with a disease normally associated with women many times her age was a difficult one to take.
"I told my mom, I just wanna be a normal kid," she told reporters. "I want to go back to school, play sports, hang out with my friends. So I started crying."

Pink Campaigns to Purchase
50 Mobile Screening Units
July 10, 2009
According Mr.
McElfresh Pink
Campaigns is
committed to Project
Free Mammograms.
Over the next 10
years we will
purchase a total of
50 Mobile
Mammography Clinics
at a cost of
$350,000 each to
cover the entire
United States. Our
preliminary studies
have proven the need
for this program.
Currently an
estimated 200,000
women across the U.S
are uninsured or
have no insurance at
all. At Pink
Campaigns our goal
is to provide this
service at no cost
to the women who
need a mammogram.
Currently we are
paying for the cost
at hospitals and
clinics for the
women who need
immediate attention.
We have asked for
in-kind donations
from some hospitals
and received a flat
no. In any case we
still need to raise
$100,000 for
Florida's first
Mobile Screening
Unit (MSU). More
news to follow.

Our preliminary
estimates have
shown that
approximately
200,000 women
NATIONWIDE are
uninsured or
underinsured and
desperately need
a free
mammogram, NOW!
The cost of a
mammogram varies
but the average
price is around
$100.
Any donation
amount would be
appreciated to
help offset the
cost of these
mammograms.
Utilizing our
Mobile Screening
Units we can
offset and
eliminate these
costs. In the
state of Florida
we have over 200
cases that need
immediate
attention. These
are cases that
can not wait
until our Mobile
Screening Units
arrive in their
locations.

Please tell all
of your friends
about Project
Free Mammogram
or send this
page to them.
As most of
you know free
stuff is for
things such as
furniture, etc.
not free
services like
free mammograms.
So our ad will
be pulled after
a short period
of time and we
will rely on
word of mouth
and Public
Service
Announcements (PSA's)
to get the word
out. Help us
keep our costs
as low as
possible by
sending this
free service to
all of your
friends. Our
current
estimates are
that over
200,000 (and
growing) women
across the
nation need this
service either
they have no
insurance or are
under insured.
We also placed
the same ad in
Local News on
Craigslist.
Project Free
Mammogram
Project Free
Mammogram is
part of Pink
Campaigns
solution to the
cure. By
providing free
screenings to
all women of all
ages we can beat
this disease
before it has a
chance to start.
Early detection
is a major
factor in saving
thousands of
women's lives.
Many women that
do not have
insurance or any
means of follow
up after being
diagnosed can
now at least
have free
mammograms every
year. Even if
you have
insurance you
may be limited
to one screening
annually. Now
all walks of
life will have
an opportunity
to know and have
peace of mind
that they can
get a free
mammogram at any
time.

Volunteers on
the Streets in
Miami
May 21, 2009
Volunteers are
on the streets
in Miami and
Fort Lauderdale
to collect
donations for
Project Free
Mammogram.
Project Free
Mammogram is a
program
dedicated to
helping women
get free breast
cancer
screenings who
could not
otherwise afford
them.
Currently the
program is being
offered to all
women insured or
not. It is our
belief that
early detection
is the solution
to the cure. If
we can detect
any lumps, signs
or symptoms
early we can
defeat this
disease. With
early detection
and awareness
the likelihood
is that we
can reduce the
number of deaths
caused by this
disease. |
