Music can be inspirational, but even more inspirational are stories of those surviving breast cancer.

Music icon Pat Benatar is coming to the Covelli Centre on August 16th to begin Panerathon week and in conjunction with that we are celebrating breast cancer survivors with our "Love is a Battlefield" contest.

Are you a survivor, current patient, care giver, medical care giver, or family/friend touched by cancer?
