Breast Cancer Awareness Capitol Event to Feature Miss Oklahoma and Sherri Coale

For the second time in as many years, April 26, 2010 has been designated as “Breast Cancer Awareness Day at the Capitol”, and breast cancer survivors, their families and friends, or anyone interested in saving lives from the disease are welcome to attend. Twenty plus organizations from throughout the state will have displays to share information on the fourth floor rotunda. Artists and survivor authors of Oklahoma will also be present. The “Faces of Breast Cancer in Oklahoma” media presentation will play throughout the day as a tribute to those who have fought, continue to fight or have lost their battle to breast cancer in our state.
Miss Oklahoma Taylor Treat will be present from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and OU Women’s Basketball coach Sherri Coale will be present from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m.

Hours for the event are 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A catered lunch will be available for $5, but reservations must be made by April 20th. RSVP at breastimpressions@cox.net, or by calling 918-691-3874.

Oklahoma needs a vehicle to educate, screen and treat women and men for breast cancer - saving more lives. At this year’s event a program will be revealed that will help make this happen. Lawmakers will be asked to inform and encourage their constituents to support the program, making it a reality. We will then save more lives in all 77 counties of Oklahoma.

Chairs for this year’s event are: Sen. Judy Eason McIntyre, Sen. Debbe Leftwich and Rep. Lee Denney, along with Judi Grove, Founder of Breast Impressions, Inc.
