2010 Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition Annual Conference™

Cary Massa Memorial Scholarship Fund

To honor their beloved friend, family member and loved one, those who knew Cary Massa were moved to act to preserve her memory after her death.  Cary was an active member of the ABC'S support group of Carlisle and a dedicated volunteer for the PBCC Annual Conference each year, so her friends and family wanted to ensure that her spirit remained present at the conference she enjoyed so much.

To memorialize Cary, her friends and family worked with the PBCC to create the Cary Massa Memorial Scholarship Fund, which will provide financial assistance to those who wish to attend the PBCC Annual Conference, but would be unable to due to their financial situation.   

The PBCC offers a limited number of travel grants, as well as full and partial Cary Massa Memorial Scholarships for the 2010 Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition Annual Conference.  We encourage anyone who needs assistance in paying for attendance to the conference to apply, although priority is given to breast cancer survivors.
