Become a Bosom Buddies Member Today – Make a Lifesaving Impact
As The Ellen Hermanson Foundation marks its 30th anniversary this year, we’re launching a new membership program: Bosom Buddies.
Despite advances in treatment over the past three decades, there continues to be a critical need for awareness, education, and advocacy, especially among underserved women.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women; in fact, one in eight women be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. We know that early detection saves lives but even a basic mammogram costs $120, an insurmountable cost for many in our community.
Now, as we celebrate three decades of life-saving programs and services, we invite your participation as an inaugural Bosom Buddy with a membership gift of $120 monthly.
Over the past 30 years, The Ellen Hermanson Foundation has helped to revolutionize breast health services on the East End. At the Ellen Hermanson. Breast Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, no patient is turned away for lack of insurance or inability to pay for treatment. With your support, we’re able to provide FREE services right here in our community, where breast cancer diagnosis and mortality rates are among the highest in New York State.
Thank you for embracing our mission and making a difference.
