The PBCC is looking for breast cancer survivors living in Pennsylvania to possibly be featured in our traveling photo exhibit "67 Women - 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania"™

"67 Women - 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania"™  
Sponsored by the PBCC and funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health

"67 Women - 67 Counties: Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania"™ is a traveling photo exhibit hosted by communities in Pennsylvania.  This educational work of art celebrates the life, courage, hope and dignity of women and families who have battled breast cancer.  The exhibit is funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and sponsored by the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition.

This touching tribute showcases at least one woman from each of the state's 67 counties and serves as a unique reminder of the emotional and physical toll breast cancer takes on each woman and her family.  The exhibit encourages women to learn about and practice early detection through yearly mammograms, monthly breast self-exams, and annual clinical exams.  More than 103,000 women and their families are living with breast cancer in the Commonwealth.  Since 1994, the exhibit has been hosted by over 80 communities and reached millions of Pennsylvanians through the extensive media coverage it attracts.

There are three components to this exhibit:

• Education - geared toward personal and political action
• Empowerment - to provide information to alleviate fear
• Motivation - to provide action to find a cause and a cure for breast cancer

Exhibit Description - Technical

There are 19 individual panels that are 7 feet high and 3 1/2 feet wide.  Each panel fits into its own base measuring 1 1/2 feet deep by 3 1/2 feet wide.  Each panel should be allotted approximately 2 1/2 feet of walking space around each base.  The beauty of this exhibit design is that the panels can be placed in a tight floor plan.  We suggest a minimum total area of 2,000 square feet to best display all the panels.

There is also a five-sided Media Kiosk which houses audio and video equipment.  Electricity is required for this.  One regular 110 volt, 20 amp plug will suffice.  The cord (supplied by the PBCC) can be connected to an overhead or floor outlet.

The exhibit will be on display for 10 days.  It is delivered very early on a Thursday and will be picked up on the Monday of the following week.

The site will NOT be responsible for the storage of the transport cases for the duration of the exhibit.

The site must be ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible.

If you are interested in hosting this exhibit, please email Jen Fetich.  We are always looking for new sites!
