Valentine Survivors Celebration hosted by Gift of Life

Who:              The Julie Rogers “Gift of Life” Program
What:            Will honor nearly 150 breast and prostate cancer survivors from Southeast Texas during its annual Valentine Survivors Celebration, generously sponsored by TOTAL Port Arthur Refinery.
In conjunction with the event, the “Gift of Life” will host a mobile mammography van site, also sponsored by TOTAL, from 8:30am to 3:30pm, outside of Dillard’s at Parkdale Mall. Nearly 35 medically underserved Southeast Texas women have been scheduled to receive free mammograms on the UTMB van, with clinical breast exams being provided inside Dillard’s. 
When:            Thursday, February 11, 2010
                        10:00am to 11:30am
Where:           Parkdale Mall Garden Court
                         6155 Eastex Freeway, Beaumont
Why:              The event will recognize the strength and courage of those who have fought valiantly in the battle against cancer. In 2009, 11 people were diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer following free “Gift of Life” screenings, seven of whom were provided access to treatment during the year and four who are scheduled to receive treatment in 2010. Since the program’s inception, nearly 150 men and women have been impacted after receiving cancer diagnoses through “Gift of Life” screenings.
