Did you know?!?!?…

  • An estimated 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to occur among women in the United States during 2008.
  • An estimated 40,480 women will die from breast cancer.
  • Breast cancer is the second deadliest cancer in women (behind lung cancer).
  • Please keep this in mind when you plan your events! Planaganza offers 3 favors that benefit women’s health-focused charities. A percentage of each purchase will benefit the Young Survival Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the unique issues and concerns that are important to young women with breast cancer. The Young Survival Coalition educates communities through advocacy and awareness and provides support to those living with this devastating disease. For more information on the purpose and mission of The Young Survival Coalition, please visit their website at http://www.youngsurvival.org/.
