A Cure In Our Lifetime Premier Event

The event is set for March 30 at the Cherokee Town and Country Club.

Jennifer Fink and Jody Goldstein met while participating in It’s The Journey’s 2-day walk for breast cancer. Both of their lives have been touched by breast cancer. Jennifer’s mother is a fifteen-year survivor and Jody is a three-year survivor. Their shared passion for supporting breast cancer research inspired them to create an Atlanta chapter of A Cure in Our Lifetime.

A Cure in Our Lifetime was founded 18 years ago in Chappaqua, New York in memory of a community friend who lost her battle with breast cancer at the age of 38. Over the years, the homegrown group has raised nearly $3 million for innovative breast cancer research.

β€œAbout one in 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer in their lifetime,” says Fink. β€œGroundbreaking research is critical in helping to find ways to prevent and cure breast cancer.”

With the help of their 26-member committee, Fink and Goldstein have already raised over $50,000 toward breast cancer research. Designated fund recipients are the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and a breast cancer research project through the Morehouse School of Medicine.
