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.
