During your visits to Breastnet, you may have seen information about a wonderful organization called the Arizona Institute for Breast Health, www.AIBH.org. AIBH, a local non-profit organization founded by Dr. Coral Quiet and myself, was created to give women the opportunity to receive information and education about the best possible treatment for breast cancer. The Institute offers a woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer a second opinion, completely free of charge, and addresses all of the issues involved with the disease - from prevention and education to specific treatment options.

Our volunteer team of physicians and medical professionals are breast health experts whose specialties include breast radiology, breast surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, reconstructive surgery, and breast pathology. This team evaluates the best medical and surgical options for the preservation of a woman's life, body and emotional well-being, in a caring, expedient and objective manner.

Because AIBH is supported entirely by donations, I wanted to take a moment to tell you about a special fundraiser that you will find most unique.

From now through October 31st, you will have the opportunity to purchase pink light bulbs for $20 each in recognition of those touched by breast cancer. These light bulbs will be placed on the Canal Bridge, which links the Scottsdale Waterfront to the SouthBridge District in downtown Scottsdale and will be illuminated on September 28th at the inaugural VIP Lighting Ceremony, The Pink Light District. These Pink Honor Lights will glow throughout October in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Pink Honor Lights may be given to anyone touched by breast cancer:

			In honor of a brave survivor
			In memory of a loved one
			To recognize that special person in your doctor's office
			As a special thank you to a supporter...a friend, husband, brother, sister, parent, child, co-worker...anyone who has made a difference in the life of someone touched by breast cancer!

All supporters who donate $500 or more will receive an invitation to the VIP Lighting Ceremony. For every Pink Honor Light you purchase, a special Tribute Card will be immediately emailed to the Honoree on your behalf.

All gifts are 100% tax deductible and you will receive a donation receipt for your records. All donors will also be recognized on the AIBH website in the Pink Light District Honor Album. It is easy to sponsor a Pink Honor Light - just go to www.ThePinkLightDistrict.org.

Thank you for your time and support!

Best regards,
Belinda Barclay-White, MD
