The Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative (WBCI) is celebrating its 5th year.

Over the course of its five-year history, WBCI has raised over $350,000.

WBCI's mission is clear,

The WBCI aims to raise awareness and fund breast cancer programs in Wyoming with an emphasis on increasing breast health education, financially assisting breast cancer screenings, facilitating patient navigation, and promoting survivor services.  Through fundraising efforts across the state, proceeds remain in Wyoming to grant into eligible programs.

 

Money raised in Wyoming stays in Wyoming to help Wyoming families.

To date, funds granted into Wyoming programs have supported over 3500 men and women, 2717 clinical breast exams completed, 593 mammograms completed, 11 biopsies performed, 173 diagnostic tests performed, 53 community educational encounters, 137 breast prosthetics, and most importantly assisted diagnosis of 17 residents with breast cancer.

Like many charities, WBCI has been forced by COVID-19 to get creative to continue to raise funds.

Their annual Pink Ribbon Run & Fun has gone virtual, and they're asking you to get creative with their Flamingo theme.
