In early 2017, The Maurer Foundation had the amazing opportunity to work with the Nursing Program of Molloy College and the Medical Academy at East Islip High School. Through these two unique programs, our educators were able to exponentially magnify their outreach efforts by educating those who were in the position to reach out to others about breast health.

The Maurer Foundation’s peer-to-peer education program was hosted by East Islip High School’s Medical Academy program, a rigorous academic track established for students who plan on pursuing a career in the medical field.

Over the span of six days, these 25 students learned about breast anatomy and development, breast cancer and its associated risks, methods of early detection, healthy lifestyle choices, and how to present a breast health program. In turn, the students were charged with developing their own PowerPoint program, which they utilized to educate approximately 250 tenth grade students during their health classes.

In February, Molloy College hosted a modified daylong version of our Training and

Certification program and we had the opportunity to present an

intense reivew of breast health information to 12 Registered

318,955 PEOPLE

Nurses in the Molloy degree program. Although many of these nurses have been working in the medical field for more than 10 years, they expressed surprise about how much they learned.

Now and in the forseeable future, these nurses will be able to interact with countless patients from all walks of life and teach them how to lower their risks for developing breast cancer through healthy lifestyle choices. In addition, these nurses plan to reach even more

people by hosting a campus health fair to teach fellow students and faculty how to take charge of their breast health.

We are so thankful to collaborate with organizations like Molloy College and East Islip High School. Through these vital community partnerships, our resources, knowledge, and educational efforts are magnified and The Maurer Foundation is able to make an even larger impact on the breast health of our Long Island communities.

Why I Am Walking in the LI2Day Walk on June 10thby Debbie Goldman, The Maurer Foundation, Development Manager

I am walking in honor of my mom who was diagnosed over a quarter of a century ago. I still remember my dad driving her every day for weeks from their home in Nassau County to Manhattan for her radiation treatment. The thought of her not having been here to watch her 5 grandchildren grow up is unfathomable. We are fortunate.

I am walking for the 4 women in my hometown, women in their 40’s and 50’s, moms of my children’s friends, who ultimately lost their hard-fought battle, leaving behind husbands and young children.

I am walking for my two sorority sisters and a professional colleague and friend who are fighting the fight today.

I am walking for all of the women I do not have a per-sonal connection to that are fighting this dreadful disease.

Most of all, I am walking for my two daughters who I hope and pray will never be faced with this horrible diagnosis and will see a cure in their lifetime. I am walking so one day I don’t have to.

Bowlers “Strike” It Big At the 2017 Pink BowlNineteen teams of enthusiastic bowlers braved the wintry mix of snow and sleet and heated up

the lanes with their competitive spirit at The Maurer Foundation’s 8th Annual Pink Bowl on Sunday, February 12th. The bowling fundraiser held at Bowlmor Lanes in Melville, was once

again sponsored by Sperry Federal Credit Union and raised over $10,000 for breast health education programs on Long Island.

A huge thank you to all those who participated! Congratulations to the winning bank team, Branch Out, from

Sperry FCU and to Charles Schwab, the winning non-bank team. Also congratulations are in order for Scott Alers from Charles Schwab, who received the award for Best Male Bowler, and Minnie Nevins, Best Female Bowler.

NIGHT WORK & BREAST CANCERA new review that compiled data from over 1.4 million

DAIRY & BREAST CANCER Mainstream health news about dairy is conflicting.

Between scary data about recombinant bovine growth hormones (rBGH), estrogen, fat and antibiotics on one end and on the other end the health benefits of vitamin D, calcium, minerals, and protein, it’s hard to know if dairy is considered healthy these days. And how does dairy intake effect our risk of breast cancer?
