DEVELOPMENT
Thank you RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas for again including Komen Dallas County in your week long tournament. We have been honored to be the benefactor of one day of the tournament, which is aptly named Pink Day. Pink Day was held on February 4 at T Bar M Raquet Club. Third party events like this one play a critical role in helping us win the fight against breast cancer! If you are interested in hosting a third party event, contact Nicole Metcalf at NicoleMetcalf@komen-dallas.org

MISSION
The new 2016-2017 grantees will be announced in April.
However, there is still time to
receive services, such as screenings, mammograms, diagnostics, patient navigation and
transportation assistance before the 2015-2016 grant
cycle concludes. The current grantees can be found HERE. If
you are a resident of Dallas County and are uninsured/underinsured, please
contact the grantees individually to find
out eligibility requirements. Mobile mammography events can be found HERE. As
a reminder, an appointment is usually required and patients must meet
eligibility requirements. Thank you to all of the 2015-2016 Komen-Dallas County
Community Partners for helping to make a difference in the lives of residents
of Dallas County. If you would like to inquire about the Community Grants Program,
please contact Aisha Heath-Mission Manger at aheath@komen-dallas.org or
