CANCELLED Mammograms & Check-ups at Go Green! Greenpoint Festival
Unfortunately, the American–Italian Cancer Foundation had to cancel their free breast exams at Go Green! Greenpoint Festival. Only 6 eligible women signed up (ie. age 40 or over, NYC residence, and no mammogram in last 12 months), and this was not enough. We thank everyone who did sign up. Town Square and the foundation will try to offer this service again to our community at another opportunity.
