According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, “1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In 2023, an estimated 297,790 women and 2,800 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Chances are, you know at least one person who has been personally affected by breast cancer.”
ImagineSoftware is honored to partner with Charlotte Radiology, sponsoring the 12th annual Pink Pint Night benefitting Levine Cancer Institute: Project PINK. “Project Pink was established to increase access to life-saving mammography screenings for uninsured women. Donations to The Project PINK Fund allow for “Free Mammography Days” in underserved communities where the need is highest. In partnership with Charlotte Radiology, the program’s state-of-the-art mobile breast center travels throughout the community offering free screenings in a convenient, compassionate environment.”
- Levine Cancer Institute Project PINK allows eligible women a free screening mammogram and follow-up care (diagnostic screening, ultrasound, biopsy) if recommended.
- Levine Cancer Institute Project PINK Plus provides women who have an existing breast lump or other concern the opportunity to receive a free diagnostic mammogram and follow-up care.
- If there is a positive cancer finding during either program, the patient will be navigated throughout the entire treatment from diagnosis to survivorship.
