Your chance to win this year's quilt "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" quilted by Jeanne Mappes, Crystal Caserta and Shari Thompson has come and gone.
The quilt drawing was held on May 31, 2011 at Hope Hospice. Frank Pinto of Cape Coral won the quilt for his wife, Jenny. Although she is not a breast cancer survivor, she has many friends who have battled the disease. The ticket was purchased at I.M.A. in Cape Coral. We thank all of the facilities who helped Partners for Breast Cancer Care, Inc. by displaying the 2011 quilt "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" throughout Lee County. All proceeds from the quilt ticket sales will help to provide breast health care to low-income, uninsured women and men in our community.

Superstar Quilt Winner
The Superstar quilt winner is Linda Horseman. She has lived in Lee County for 11 years. Linda attended the "Ladies Night Out" event and purchased quilt tickets in honor of her aunt and best friend, who are breast cancer survivors. "I never knew there are so many with breast cancer, so I really thought the get together was a wake up call" said Linda.
Partners for Breast Cancer Care, Inc. helped 1,451 women and men in the past 12 months to receive mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies and surgeries. The organization thrives on donations and grants only; no governmental funds. Director, Janet Darnell, says their statistics have doubled from the previous year and donations are becoming more difficult to secure. Susan G. Komen for the Cure SWFL Affiliate and the United Way are supporters, as well as local community foundations. Ms. Darnell hopes more community members will consider donating to the organization in order to continue serving the need in Lee County.
