Want to learn more about Keep A Breast?
Their mission: to empower young people around the world with breast health education and support. The foundation was launched in 1999, when Founder Shaney jo Darden and her friend, Mona, learned their young friend and artist, Margaret Kilgallen, had been diagnosed with breast cancer. The two women were committed to raising awareness in support of her, but nothing resonated with the creative energy of their community. They decided to stick with a model of bringing people together through progressive art, according the KeepABreast.org. The result was Keep A Breast, a unique art concept developed to capture and communicate the physical and emotional challenges of breast cancer.

Join today: Click here.The initiative, created by Benco Dental in 2012, is named to honor Dr. Lucy Hobbs Taylor, the first woman in America to earn a dental degree. Born in 1833, Lucy was refused admission to dental school because of her gender. She persevered, eventually becoming the first licensed female dentist in 1866.
Her leadership, courage and success paved the way for other women. Benco Dental is committed to helping others to do the same. The largest family-owned dental distributor empowers women in dentistry to drive change and deliver results through networking, innovating and giving back.
