October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are excited to bring to you our Third Annual Online Art Exhibition from a talented group of artists. This year, 20% of the proceeds from the Art sale will be donated to NYC Health and Hospitals Metropolitan Breast Care Center. This center aims to provide comprehensive breast cancer care to under-served and vulnerable populations, regardless of their ability to pay. The model for cancer care focuses on helping patients identify their risk level by promoting health education and screenings in order to increase access to early intervention and treatment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI plays a significant role in the care of patients who have already received their diagnosis- the imaging will allow physicians to provide timely care to their patients, and therefore, patients to avoid any delay in their treatment due to the staging work up.

The under-served and vulnerable population often miss or deny screenings and treatment because of out of pocket costs. With this funding, it will directly contribute to paying for procedures and imaging tests that is not available on-site (e.g. MRI Breast) for these patients, which will significantly alleviate their financial burden, overall improving their quality of life.

We hope that this online fundraiser will enable us to raise much-needed funds to continue with this program and our mission to raise breast cancer awareness. Please consider supporting our mission by purchasing these beautiful paintings, created by the featured artists.
