Gift of Life Project Launch
The Gift of Life Project is a collaborative program that encourages women in the Washington, DC, area to be proactive about their breast health. Visit Capital Breast Care Center for your mammogram and have the opportunity to win several prizes to enliven the body and spirit. We commenced the program in style on January 25, 2012, 7:00-9:00 pm, at Hela Salon & Spa with complimentary champagne and chocolates.
The event was well attended and was enjoyed by all. We were glad to see both new and familiar faces. The launch raised $460. Thank you for the support!
K Street Kate stopped by and posted her pictures online.
We are very grateful to the collaborating team that has made this project possible: Shoot for Change, Hela Salon & Spa and CSE Identity Design.

On December 6, 2011, CBCC's YPAC and other volunteers created 500 care packages containing beauty, personal care products and personal notes of encouragement so that each patient who receives a mammogram at Capital Breast Care Center is able to leave with a token of appreciation. Special thanks to CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Hela Salon & Spa, Murad, Myriad, Nature's Table, Pepco, Red Door Spas and Urban Halo--Clarendon for their generous donations, making the event possible. Thank you also to Marshall Moneymaker of For 3 Sisters for helping us create the care packages for our patients.
