In partnership with Breast Believe, a breast cancer awareness campaign of The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation, Phoenix Raceway announced today that they will offer complimentary 3D mobile mammogram screenings on Thursday, November 7th, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There will be three units running simultaneously with Breast Believe partners on-site; one at Phoenix Raceway in the GEICO Gecko Campgrounds hosted by Impact One, and two at the AZ Complete Health Resource Center in Avondale hosted by the Coalition of Blacks Against Breast Cancer. To qualify for a free screening, individuals must be at least 35 years old, not currently breastfeeding or pregnant. Breast implants are not an issue, and no insurance or referral is needed.
“This initiative was well received last year, and we are pleased we can play a part in bringing it back this year for NASCAR Championship Weekend,” said Phoenix Raceway President Latasha Causey. “Once again, thank you to Breast Believe and The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation for joining our efforts against breast cancer in the community. It truly makes a difference.”
The Breast Believe campaign, led by The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation (TLFF), aims to educate communities about early detection, prevention, symptoms, treatments, resources, and access surrounding a breast cancer diagnosis. Larry Fitzgerald Jr. is driven by his mother, Carol Fitzgerald, who passed away from breast cancer in 2003. He has made it his mission to provide funding opportunities, resources, and services for women, men, and families impacted by breast cancer.
“We are honored to once again partner with the Phoenix Raceway to host this historical opportunity to provide mobile mammograms through our Breast Believe campaign,” said Danielle Frost, Executive Director of The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation. “Resources like this create access to self-advocacy opportunities, which we know undoubtedly save lives.”
The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation understands that breast cancer and its impact doesn’t start and stop in October, which is why they have created an ongoing campaign to support awareness, and the needs of women, men and families impacted every day.
