Love, Hope and Pizza for Breast Cancer Awareness
Don’t miss your chance to get screened with a no-appointment mammogram, and enjoy mini massages and facials while you wait!
Hungry Howie’s®, the originator of Flavored Crust® Pizza, has announced a new breast cancer awareness initiative tied to the brand’s annual Love, Hope & Pizza campaign. This year, the national pizza franchise has partnered with SAY Detroit and Van Elslander Cancer Center in honor of National Mammography Day. On Friday, October 18, Van Elslander Cancer Center’s Mobile Mammogram Unit will be onsite at the SAY Detroit Play Center from noon to 4 p.m. to provide pre-screenings and full mammograms to locals. Attendees are invited to the facility’s Comfort Zone Wellness Room to enjoy complimentary express facials and massages provided by Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa while waiting.
Van Elslander Cancer Center will provide its Mobile Mammography Unit at the Kelly and Matthew Stafford and Friends Educational Center Annex at the Lipke SAY Detroit Play Center (19320 Van Dyke Ave.) to assist with on-site paperwork, pre-screenings, and technician-led mammograms to screen as many patients as possible during the four-hour period. Financial assistance related to insurance is available if needed. Screenings will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. All who attend will be registered to be screened. Patients not serviced within the event timeframe be will be assisted by the Van Elslander Cancer Center to make an appointment at another facility at a future date, with transportation assistance if needed. Attendees will also receive gift boxes with items from Hungry Howie’s, SAY Detroit, Van Elslander Cancer Center, Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, while supplies last.
The SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic’s Outreach Coordinator, Alexis Harvey, will be on site throughout the event to meet with community members and share more information about the clinic’s services.
