UBCF’s Executive Director, Ms. Stephanie Mastroianni shared, “We are so excited to bring our amazing Tempur-Pedic® Mattress and Pink Bag Event® to Pennsylvania!” Stephanie continued, “Further expanding our mission’s reach to the women and men of Pennsylvania is important to us – breast cancer has the highest incidences of all female cancers in PA.”
In addition to the Tempur-Pedic® mattresses, UBCF is giving away clothing and personal care products from trusted name brands. Cancer care is expensive. Very often large purchases, such as mattresses, and other daily necessities are delayed or abandoned due to mounting medical bills. UBCF and its partners are here to help.
This is UBCF’s first Tempur-Pedic® Mattress and Pink Bag Event® in Pennsylvania. The American Cancer Society estimates 12,070 Pennsylvanian women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer this year. Pennsylvania ranks 11th among the 50 states in the incidence of breast cancer among women, according to the CDC. Early detection is critical to surviving the disease. UBCF encourages women and men to know their bodies and learn the self-breast exam to help recognize any changes. Those in need of a breast screening can find assistance through UBCF’s Breast Screening Program – available to women and men of any age. The program covers all screening technologies including mammography, ultrasound, thermography and MRI.
