INLIVIAN traded in its blue and for PINK in recognition of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth! Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American women. Research shows 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. "In 2024, an estimated 310,720 women and 2,800 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer," according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. Here are quick facts you should know: 🔘 Breast cancer mainly occurs in middle-aged and older women, with a median age of 62. 🔘 The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for women ages 45 to 54 and mammograms every other year for women 55+ 🔘 White, Asian, and Pacific Islander women are more likely to be diagnosed with localized breast cancer than Black, Hispanic, American Indian, and Alaska Native women. However, Black women have the highest death rate from breast cancer. This is thought to be partially because about 1 in 5 Black women with breast cancer have triple-negative breast cancer - more than any other racial or ethnic group. In North Carolina, we are fortunate to have organizations that support cancer patients: 🔘 Pretty In Pink Foundation provides financial assistance for uninsured and under-insured breast cancer patients. 🔘 Atrium Health's Sandra Levine Young Women’s Breast Cancer Program supports women 45 years and younger. 🔘 Carolina Breast Friends' Pink House is open to survivors and thrivers in need of a positive environment with access to resources, education, and fellowship at any stage of their journey. #INLIVIANcares #WeFightTogether #PinkOctober #WearPink #BreastCancer #INLIVIAN #CharlotteHousing

#HurricaneHelene has left senior and disable residents of our sister agencies in despair without power and water. INLIVIAN took action, collecting supplies, food and water to send to Asheville and Spartanburg. Thank you every employee and donor who offered your time and resources to shop across the city of Charlotte to help us provide for families impacted. 

While Josh Stein is visiting residents of North Carolina impacted by Hurricane Helene, his team stopped by our Carole Hoefener Community Center today. They were joined by civic leaders across Charlotte Metropolitan area, including Mayor Vi Lyles, and advocacy groups, such as Women for Stein. The voter registration deadline in NC is October 11.
