Supporting the Jonesboro Community

UBCF is proud to host our second Mattress & Pink Bag Event® in Jonesboro as part of our ongoing mission to reduce breast cancer disparities and uplift individuals and families impacted by the disease. Arkansas continues to face higher breast cancer mortality rates despite lower incidence, with significant challenges in equitable healthcare access.

Our presence in the region reflects UBCF’s commitment to providing direct support, helping to improve quality of life, and offering a renewed sense of hope to those who need it most.
