May 2003

As The Libby Ross Foundation approaches its fifth year, we once again have reason to celebrate our accomplishments and continued success as a breast cancer advocate in the New York City area. Our corporate and individual donors and supporters have helped us to make a significant difference in the fight against breast cancer.

The Libby Ross Foundation's Yoga Program for Survivors of Breast Cancer and Other Women's Cancers and The Pink Ribbon Bag Program, continue to enhance the lives of those afflicted with breast cancer by showing patients comfort and support. We have also continued to provide funding earmarked toward research and early detection to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Young Survivors Coalition and Women at Risk "WAR" at Columbia Presbyterian-New York University Hospital.

The Foundation is happy to announce that we are currently in the process of diversifying our Board of Directors in a constant effort to improve the Foundation. We are grateful that so many key individuals from the New York area have graciously offered their time and service to help the Foundation work toward realizing its full potential.

This is the first email newsletter that the Foundation will be sending out on a quarterly basis throughout the year. Additionally, a written newsletter will be mailed out once a year. The Foundation has made it a priority to keep our supporters informed of our progress as we continue to grow.

We want to thank our supporters and friends for all of your support in attending our events, as well as for continually sharing your thoughts of good wishes and suggestions which enable us to better serve the local community. We look forward to getting better acquainted with you in the next year and having you as our partners in this necessary fight.
