Connecticut has the second highest incidence of breast cancer in the United States. Until we find the cures, early detection is the best protection. Now, more than ever, we are committed to doing all we can to ensure that women and men in our state have access to the services they need. A gift of $ 125 could fund the cost of a mammogram for a woman who otherwise might not be screened.
