Individuals Share What our Program Means to Them:

Arianna Esposito, Health Teacher

“Thanks to The Maurer Foundation for taking the time to come and present to my health classes. Both speakers were incredible. The students were engaged and interested throughout the entire presentation. The silicone models were an excellent tool for students to get a better understanding of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer that can help lead to early detection. The presentation was eye-opening, informative, and shed a positive light on breast cancer awareness. The speakers left a profound impact on the students; after the lesson, they had many questions and personal stories to share. I really appreciate the awesome presentation and hope that we can make this happen again next year!”

M.D., Hofstra University Student

“I really liked the positive approach for this subject. There was no fear-mongering, narrowing of choices, or pressure to do things in a particular way. I appreciated being given facts and what I believed to be accurate statistics so I may make my own choices. Part of making those choices involves knowing all options available as well.”

Emily, Massapequa High School Student

“Thank you for coming to my classroom. I think it is very important to educate people my age on breast cancer prevention and breast cancer awareness. I really enjoyed the presentation. My favorite parts were the pear deck slides that you could draw on. I think those interactive slides really helped my class stay engaged and focused throughout the presentation. Thank you so much!”
