Dollars that make sense.
This year the team will focus specifically on beast cancer awareness, prevention and treatment resources. Every dollar raised on October 9, 2010 and through www.teamupmontana.com will go directly to the Montana Cancer Compassion Fund managed by the St. Patrick Hospital and Health Foundation. This fund specifically helps local individuals in our community in need of financial support in their fight against cancer. Funding from these donations provide preventitive and educational programs and low cost screening mammograms. Every dollar raised stays local to assist the individuals of our community.


One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifte time. That means someone you know will most likely be affected by this cancer - but, with your help, we are hoping to change that statistic. Be part of the solution - donate through Team Up Montana.
