Visit Of Ambassador Nancy Brinker Raises Breast Cancer Awareness |
 "On July 10 Ambassador April Foley, First Lady of Hungary Dr. Klára Dobrev, and Chief of Protocol of the United States and founder of Susan G. Komen for the Cure Ambassador Nancy Brinker stood together in support of the quest for a cure for breast cancer at the presentation of a USD $100,000 grant from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), a 94-year-old, overseas, humanitarian aid organization which works in more than 60 countries worldwide.The grant, which solidifies the fifth year of partnership between Komen for the Cure and JDC, will help sustain the critical work of the Women’s Health Empowerment Program (WHEP), an initiative to promote breast cancer awareness and early detection.
It also will expand the program’s reach into Hungary’s rural communities, where access to screening facilities and breast health information is extremely limited."
