Tea Fundraiser to Benefit Breast Health Care Fund


DERBY - Calling all tea lovers! The Women’s Health Initiative invites the community to its Annual Tea Fundraiser on Sun., April 22 from 2-4 p.m. at Griffin Hospital, 130 Division St., Derby.
 
The Tea is open to everyone - men and women, wives and husbands, mothers, daughters, and granddaughters. The event will feature a sophisticated assortment of teas and savory foods and participants are encouraged to wear their favorite hat for a parade where the person with the best hat will be awarded a prize. There will also be door prizes and raffles.
 
The cost is $30 per person. Proceeds will benefit the Valley Breast Health Care Fund, which aims to ensure that no person, regardless of age or socio-economic condition, is denied screening mammograms or diagnostic testing for breast cancer, or financial assistance with diagnosed breast cancer related services such as wigs, transportation and groceries.
