Mary Ann Wasil Nilan, Co-Founder & President; Susan Patrick, Co-Founder & Chairperson; and Suzanne Cahill-Manning, Vice-Chairperson (and Milford Alderwoman!) of The Get In Touch Foundation remind everyone that today is National "GIT Your Pink On!" Day.

The Mission of the Get In Touch Foundation is to encourage gals of all ages to “Get In Touch” with their bodies, information, and each other in our crusade against breast cancer.”

Wear pink! Donate $1 at The Milford Bank to help spread the word to young girls in our community that they can learn to monitor their own health as easily as they have learned to brush teir teeth!

This program teaches girls to “get in touch” with their bodies through self-examination and will be developed by board members and approved by members of the medical community.

Materials that explain the importance of breast self-examination and facts about breast cancer will be packaged and sent to health educators nationwide. The information is then given to 5th grade girls by health educators when they discuss hygiene and the girls’ changing bodies.
