MT. LEBANON JUNIOR
WOMEN’S CLUB
ANNOUNCES ANNUAL
BENEFICIARY
The Mt. Lebanon Junior Women’s
Club (MLJWC) recently announced its
2019-20 Major Grant Beneficiary, the
Young Women’s Breast Cancer Awareness
Foundation (YWBCAF).
“The Young Women’s Breast Cancer
Awareness Foundation is a 501(c)(3)
that educates, supports and provides
small financial grants to women under 45
in Pittsburgh with breast cancer. We are
thrilled with this partnership as not only
[is MLJWC] a powerful group of caring
women, but the exact target we want to
speak to regarding breast health,” said
Jennifer Kehm, co-founder of YWBCAF.
“When [the foundation was] created,”
she added, “the mission was to make sure
all women and physicians were aware
that young women can and do get breast
cancer. Young women can many times
be diagnosed at later stages, making
the challenge much greater. We lose
116 women a day to breast cancer. The
survivors in their 20s and 30s are often
isolated; lonely; saddled with fertility
issues, employment issues and medical
leave challenges; trying to manage young
icmags.com
children; and many times are left with a
lifetime of financial challenge.”
Founded in July 2005, YWBCAF
is committed to bringing breast cancer
awareness to women under 45. To
increase awareness, it regularly partners
with local groups and organizes events
during the month of October, such as
Pink Ribbon Bagels, Lanterns of Hope
and PINK OUT events held at local high
school athletic functions.
MLJWC will hold its major club event,
“Viva el Bingo!” with a portion of the
proceeds benefiting YWBCAF. The event
will take place on Saturday, March 28,
at the Bethel Park Community Center,
with co-chairs Becky Dearing and Jill
Loughridge.
