As the second most common form of cancer found in women, breast cancer is a formidable enemy, but it is one that can be beat. We're enlisting an army of individuals to help us create greater awareness about the life-saving benefits of annual mammograms and early detection, all while having a great time with people we love.

The ‘Stomp Out Breast Cancer Shopping Extravaganza’ was a huge success. The volunteers from the Pasco County Clerk of Courts Office were trying to raise funds for their Making Strides Against Breast Cancer team, Clerks for a Cure. Paula O’Neil posted, “What a great time and so many supporters. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make sure Diane's event happened. And what wonderful vendors! I brought home some great purchases and two wins on raffles. A good day all in all” said Paula.
