NSXF is participating in BARBELLS FOR BOOBS ® on Saturday October 20th, 2012 at the box. We would love to have as many members, family and friends come out for this event. You can help in many ways, donating, promoting, participating in the workout (Grace), or just coming to support the cause that day.
Barbells for Boobs is a 501(c)3 non-profit breast cancer organization whose mission is to provide funding through the MAMMOGRAMS IN ACTION ® GRANT PROGRAM for qualified low-income and uninsured women and men who need screening and/or diagnostic procedures in the prevention of breast cancer.
Our Vision: to raise awareness of the incidence of breast cancer under the age of 40, and provide resources to those that typically would not have access to screening and diagnostic procedures for preventative purposes.
Our Commitment: to be a proactive voice in early detection, promote self-checks and regular check-ups with health care professionals and provide straightforward access to services for any man or women, regardless of age.
Our Goal: to provide funding to breast centers globally through our Mammograms In Action ® Grant Program as a “last resort” resource for thousands of people who do not qualify for government funding or other charitable resources. Funding for screenings and diagnostic procedures is not only a necessity, but really does SAVE LIVES.
Our mission is possible, our message is simple: SAVE A PAIR. SAVE A LIFE.
