WHAT’S NEWS IN KEYSTONE OAKS
MT. LEBANON JUNIOR
WOMEN’S CLUB
ANNOUNCES ANNUAL
BENEFICIARY
Founded in July 2005, YWBCAF is
deeply 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. The event co-chairs
are Becky Dearing and Jill Loughridge.
The Mt. Lebanon Junior Women’s
Club 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 [they] are the exact
target we want to speak to regarding
breast health,” said Jennifer Kehm, co-
founder of the YWBCAF.
“When [the foundation was] created,”
Kehm adds, “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 children; and many
times are left with a lifetime of financial
challenge.”
