Methodist Charlton Women's Imaging Receives Generous Check from Think PINK! Event
Women’s Imaging at Methodist Charlton Medical Center recently received
a generous check for over $8,000 from breast cancer survivor Sheri Mathis
and her annual Shop, Eat Drink PINK! event in the Bishop Arts District.
Mathis created the event to raise money and awareness of the importance
of early detection. A survivor of two breast cancer diagnoses, Mathis
considers herself one of the lucky ones because her cancer was detected
early via an annual mammogram. Very grateful, Mathis is now driven to
help others and create more survivors. “Early detection is key to
a great future,” she says. Mathis credits the merchants and restaurants
in Bishop Arts and beyond, the wonderful volunteers, and generous sponsors
for the success of Shop, Eat, Drink PINK! which almost doubled proceeds
from the previous year. Methodist Charlton was one of the sponsors of
the event.
“We are indebted to Sheri for her continued support,” mammography team leader Jana Munoz says. “Because of her fundraising events, Methodist Charlton has been able to provide breast health services to many women who otherwise would not have been able to afford them. We also thank the merchants of Bishop Arts as well as other contributors for their tremendous support of the Shop, Eat, Drink, PINK! event which kicked off in the Bishop Arts District last October.”
The donated funds will be used to help provide mammograms for uninsured patients and support the Nurse Navigator program at Methodist Charlton.
