About the Cancer Vixen FUNd at SVCMC, Cancer Vixen Spalapalooza!, and Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers :
The Cancer Vixen Fund at SVCMC, was founded by Author Marisa Acocella Marchetto and Co-Chair Grace dos Santos. Marisa, an artist and freelance cartoonist for the New Yorker and Glamour magazines, was uninsured when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. She received treatment at St. Vincent’s Comprehensive Cancer Center. As someone who learned first-hand the importance of screening and early diagnosis, Marisa founded the Cancer Vixen Fund at SVCMC to help provide potentially life-saving screenings. The Fund will sponsor free mammogram screenings at Saint Vincent’s Comprehensive Cancer Center on July 11, 2008 and in October on National Mammography Day.
Cancer Vixen Spalapalooza! is a glamourizing, good karma-fying fabulous cancer-kicking FUNdraiser for Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers to provide breast care and well-being for the uninsured and underinsured. It will be held on Wednesday, June 25th, at the Cornelia Day Resort in New York City.
Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers was founded more than 150 years ago by the Sisters of Charity and has grown to become one of New York's premier academic medical centers. In addition to superb surgical, cardiac and psychological care it continues to serve as one of New York's few Level I Trauma Centers offering emergency services to all those in need. Saint Vincent's provides outstanding and compassionate care to people in every stage of health, sickness and recovery, regardless of their ability to pay.
