October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for the fourth year in a row, I am happy to support Divas For A Cure (DFAC).  DFAC is a Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation, founded by my little sister Jan Emanuel-Costley, a breast cancer survivor.  Since its inception in 2005, DFAC has donated over $110,000.00 to M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Hospital. 

Why M.D. Anderson?  For the past eight years, M. D. Anderson has ranked number one in cancer care in "Americas Best Hospitals" survey published by U.S. News & World Report.  Nearly 85,000 people per year, including 29,000 new patients, seek the highest quality care that has made M. D. Anderson so widely respected.

My friends Alma Alfred, Margy Pelonero, and Patti Cauthen, were all treated at M.D. Anderson, and I am happy to report they are all  breast cancer SURVIVORS!  On a personal note for the last two years, my husband has been treated at M.D. Anderson, and I believe they saved his life.  So, I have a personal testimony to share with anyone who is willing to listen.

Unlike other popular organizations that raise money for breast cancer awareness, DFAC does not have any paid staff... we are all volunteers.  Our organizations' overhead is underwritten by Corporate Sponsors and/or donated In-Kind Services.  Therefore $.90 of every dollar we raise actually goes to the Breast Cancer Research Fund.

Please consider donating to Divas For A Cure, your tax deductible donation could make a difference in someone’s life.
