Lynn Zambrano, Laura Lewers, and Charlotte Kobayashi volunteered on May 8th 2014, for this dinner awards evening, held at Mill Valley Community Center to sell the remaining 39 raffle tickets of the 100 raffle tickets being offered at $100 per.
This evening event highlighted Zero Breast Cancer’s research/educational programs and recognized individuals, organizations and businesses that have helped to understand breast cancer, the healing processes, and the environmental conditions that lead to increased levels of breast cancer in Marin County.
This year, with the additional help of the 3 Corporate Visions, Inc. volunteers, the 39 tickets were sold out before dinner was served- remarkable!
Keynote speaker was Dr. Pamela Munster, MD UCSF Cancer Center and the following are a few of the awards presented:
• Dr. Vida Campbell, MD, of Marin General- developed a Breast MRI program
• Dr. Marla Anderson, MD of Kaiser Permanente San Rafael, CA- for breast cancer care expansion program
• Paul Tasner, PHD and Elena Olivari, MA, founders of a new innovative company called Pulpworks, Inc.- designs sustainable and biodegradable alternatives to toxic plastic packaging.
The three of us, Laura, Lynn and Charlotte, had a great time meeting new professionals all working towards eliminating conditions to prevent the occurrence of breast cancer.
The next major event for Zero Breast Cancer is the 12th annual 6 mile Dipsea Hike for Zero Breast Cancer in Mill Valley, Saturday, September 13, 2014, starting at 8:00 am.
