Spirit of Giving Gala
2018-10-13 16:00 - 22:00 (America/Chicago) | MN
The Spirit of Giving Gala is an excellent opportunity to support Sleepy Eye Medical Center and the Sleepy Eye Healthcare Foundation. This fundraiser will take place on Saturday, October 13 at the Sleepy Eye Event Center. With a special appeal for 3D mammography software, we are committed to providing our community with technology that is quickly becoming the new standard of care in breast cancer detection.
About the Cause
Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis and second leading cause of cancer death in women. In fact, one out of eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives. And while 3D mammography is costly at $220,000, studies show its superior imaging technique not only reduces false-positives but also increases cancer detection by up to 16% compared to traditional 2D mammography. Proceeds from the gala will help fund this upgrade in technology.
