The Lao Assistance Center of Minnesota thanks the Susan G. Komen foundation who has generously agreed to support the Lao Assistance Center with $50,000 to advance breast cancer outreach.
For the first time in Minnesota, the Lao Assistance Center of Minnesota will create a program to address breast health in the Lao refugee community (Southeast Asians).
We will provide breast cancer education, outreach, and screening to Lao women and men in the Twin Cities seven-county metro area. Our outreach strategies will focus on community radio, TV, newspaper, social media, and other mediums and we will recruit and screen women from both existing clients and community members touched by our media campaign and outreach efforts.
Our primary anticipated outcomes are: 1) 3,000 Lao women and men will gain increased awareness of breast cancer and its prevention as a result of an education and media campaign; and 450 women and men will receive breast cancer screening as a result of education and individual encouragement and support
The Minnesota Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®—along with those who generously support them with their talent, time and resources—is working to better the lives of those facing breast cancer in our community. They join more than 100,000 breast cancer survivors and activists around the globe as part of the world’s largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting breast cancer.
Thank you again for your support!
