Kudos to my friend Steven Blanton for ‘stepping up’ for a cure during the ‘Artful bra’ exhibit. During the exhibit, Steven and his group of friends made a brief drag appearance while dancing to Mamba No.5. The event raised over $10,000 (10K). Out of the 10K, 4K was donated to the Best Chance Network. Best Chance is a South Carolina organization that helps women with clinical breast exams and mammograms.  For (SC) women who cannot afford to be tested;

·         If you lack insurance or have insurance that only covers hospital care

·         Are between the ages of 40 and 64, and

·         Meet certain income guidelines.
