Twig Presents $5,000 Check to Inova Alexandria to Support
the Carolyn Abshire Breast Cancer Care Fund

On November 9, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Twig donated $5,000 to
support the Carolyn Abshire Breast Cancer Care fund that was established in 1989 by
the Twig and Carolyn Abshire. This fund supports breast cancer-related initiatives such
as mammogram screenings, mentoring programs, patient care and other Life with
Cancer programs. Recently, monies have been used to support Inova’s new mobile
screening bus that provides free services such as mammograms and pap smears to
women throughout the Alexandria area. This year’s donation will be used to continue
providing free mammograms to women in our community.
