Polk County Women Send $3,000 to UAMS for Breast Cancer Research
| Nov. 13, 2002
A group of women in Polk County, Ark., sent a gift of almost $3,000 to the Arkansas Cancer Research Center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) last week for breast cancer research.
Sue Bean of Mena came to the center Nov. 5 to present the contribution to Dr. V. Suzanne Klimberg, director of the center’s Breast Cancer Program.
The group, Women to the Power of Ten, raised the funds at an Oct. 30 luncheon in Mena. The mission of the group is to remind a circle of additional women to do breast self-examinations each month. Dr. Klimberg had recently given a talk to the group.
