Fly Away
With The
Bridge
is the
annual event
to benefit
The Bridge
Breast
Network, a
nonprofit
organization
whose
mission is
to save
lives by
providing
access to
diagnostic
and
treatment
services for
breast
cancer to
low income,
uninsured
and
under-insured
individuals.
History and
Mission:
The Bridge
Breast
Network is a
nonprofit
organization
whose
mission is
to save
lives by
providing
access to
diagnostic
and
treatment
services for
breast
cancer to
low income,
uninsured
and
underinsured
individuals.
The Bridge
serves
uninsured
and
underinsured
women and
men in 16
counties in
the DFW
area.
In the past
decade, The
Bridge has
served over
100,000
North Texans
and
connected
more than
10,000 with
medical
treatment.
The Bridge
was founded
in 1992 to
serve as the
link between
uninsured
and
underinsured
women and
men and the
life-saving
care they so
desperately
need. Only
through the
help of
volunteers
and
generous donations
from the
North Texas
community
is The
Bridge able
to carry out
this vital
mission.
Status
or
circumstance
shouldn’t be
a factor in
the fight
against
breast
cancer.
Cancer
doesn’t care
whether a
person is
Asian or
Caucasian,
16 or 60,
insured or
not. The
care
shouldn’t
discriminate
either.
For every
dollar
donated,
Bridge
clients
receive
nearly 10
times that
amount in
medical care.
Hundreds
of
physicians
and medical
facilities
in the
Metroplex
have
volunteered
their
professional
services or
drastically
reduced
their fees
to make a
large
discount
possible.
Your
tax-deductible
donation
goes toward
lifesaving
evaluations
and
treatment,
such as
biopsies,
medication,
and
chemotherapy.
