"67 Women - 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania", is sponsored by the PA Breast Cancer Coalition and funded by the PA Department of Health. The photo exhibit showcases at least one woman from each county in the state. It celebrates the life, courage, hope and dignity of the women and families who have had a personal battle with breast cancer and encourages women to learn about early detection.

First Lady Michele Ridge PBCC Honorary Chair states, "More women are surviving breast cancer now than at any time in our history. As we look at the photographs in this exhibit and see the faces of those who are currently battling breast cancer, we celebrate the hope that we are moving closer to finding a cure."

Pat Halpin-Murphy, PBCC President and Founder encourages everyone to visit the exhibit. "Breast cancer is not a rare event separate from the fabrics of our lives. It is our mothers, our daughters, our friends, ourselves. We must educate ourselves about this insidious disease and fight to find a cure now. so our daughters won't have to."
