You are invited to a Premier Event :
A Photographic Tribute to Breast Cancer Survivors &
Launch Celebration of Erase Breast Cancer.org
October 13th, 2007 - Miami Design District

Did You Know ? Approximately one in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, the current statistic. The need to make women of all ages aware of this staggering statistic will come to life with an innovative photographic exhibit by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Ginny Dixon, the “One in Seven” Project. It will feature a collection of photographs celebrating breast cancer survivors and their respective family and friends.

The Event will mark the launch of www.erasebreastcancer.org, an innovative non-profit website dedicated to propagating breast health awareness. EBC distinguishes itself from existing websites that typically focus on early detection and post-cancer support, in that EBC’s content focuses on teaching visitors about the known causes, modifiable factors, and practical ways to reduce the body’s vulnerability to the disease. EBC's purpose is to serve women's best interest, or shall we say, “breast interest”. Founder Penny Shaw and co-founder Tanija Constantaras will be on site heading the launch celebration.

When: The Event will debut on Saturday, October 13TH at 3901 NE 2nd Avenue in the Miami Design District, 7 p.m. -11 p.m. , COMPLIMENTARY VALET PARKING, Casual Attire. Directions at: http://www.dacrarealty.com/list_newton.php

Featuring:
Keynote Speaker - Dr Christine Horner, breast cancer surgeon, award winning author, and renowned National Speaker. Her five year crusade -- the Breast Reconstruction Advocacy Project or BRA Project -- led to the passage of laws in thirty-five states and a federal law that provided women with more comprehensive insurance benefits when faced with breast cancer surgery.
Survivor, artist and filmmaker Sonia Baez-Hernandez will incorporate dance and art inspired by her experience with breast cancer. Baez-Hernandez’ documentary, Territories of the Breast, will also be showing during the event: 7pm
