Celebrate the Holidays with the Junior Board of A Silver Lining Foundation at Zella on December 5

CHICAGO (November 2008)—'Tis the season to be on Santa's "Nice" list rather than his "Naughty" list. Catch the holiday spirit with the Junior Board of A Silver Lining Foundation at Zella (1983 N. Clybourn Ave., Chicago; 773-549-2910) 8:30 p.m. until 1 a.m. Friday, December 5 as they host the "Save the Girls Holiday Party," a social and networking event which will raise money to fund no cost mammograms for uninsured and underinsured individuals, and to raise awareness of the need for early detection of breast cancer. The all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink holiday celebration features a raffle with prizes. Advance tickets are $35, and can be purchased at www.asilverliningfoundation.org/tickets, with $40 admission at the door.

Launched in 2002 by Dr. Sandy Goldberg, a breast cancer survivor, A Silver Lining Foundation (ASLF) provides the underinsured and uninsured with information concerning cancer resources, treatment options and support services and funds no cost mammograms. All proceeds from the "Save the Girls Holiday Party" event go to ASLF's unique Buy A Mom A Mammogram™ program, which funds screening mammograms at area hospitals to qualifying women in a timely, dignified and respectful fashion. Since the Buy A Mom A Mammogram™ program's inception in 2006, ASLF has provided more than 2,000 women with information about and access to no cost screening mammograms. In response to the growing number of women needing follow up due to a possible abnormality, the foundation began funding diagnostic testing in 2007.
