Rants and Raves: Program needed publicity
While shopping at a Stein Mart store, I happened to pick up a pink-and-white card off the checkout counter. To my amazement, I opened it to find out that they were part of a program to give free mammograms to women who could not afford to pay for one. They joined with UF and Shands and [the] RITA Foundation to make this holiday gift come true. Everyone I know has been touched by breast cancer one way or another. I am not sure where all the publicity is about this program, and if I had not shopped at Stein Mart, I would have never known about it. Imagine, during an economic downturn and uncertainty, three local organizations felt the inspiration to give the gift of life during the holidays. I am not sure Santa could top this gift!
