2024 has gone so fast already at the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation9 Jul 2024
We are excited to announce tickets for the 2024 Ladies Lunch are now on sale!
JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE -20 YEARS of Ladies Lunches
Last year we sold 1000 tickets in 6 days (A TOTAL SELL OUT) so please get your friends, family or colleagues together and book now.
Using funds raised from a number of events we purchased a much needed $97,000 breast cancer specimen x-ray machine, the Trident Faxitron for Hornsby Public Hospital.
Wonderful benefits of this machine:
1. Shorter operation time for the patient.
2. Reduce the risk of a second surgery by allowing immediate margin assessment by the operating surgeon.
3. Reduces the time under anesthetic.
