Inspiring the Next Generation
We welcomed Hannah Yoselowitz and Maddie Weiner, seniors at John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore, whose initiative brought The Maurer Foundation’s breast health education program to their school. The two students shared their experiences and demonstrated the powerful role young people can play in bringing breast health education to their peers.
From exciting auctions and raffle prizes to a lively dance floor, the evening was filled with energy and generosity. Thanks to our incredible sponsors, donors, and guests, we are continuing to bring life-saving breast health education to communities across Long Island and New York City.
