Superstar Quilt Winner

This is the 10th year that Shari Thompson, Jeanne Mapes and Crystal Caserta have collaborated to design and create a special quilt to be raffled for Partners for Breast Cancer Care, Inc. in Lee County. This year's quilt, "Superstar", was revealed at the "Ladies Night Out" event at Harborside in October. Tickets are sold throughout the year at local businesses, medical offices and Radiology Regional Center. The fabric for the quilt was donated by Florida Neurology Group and The Quit Lovers Hangout did the actual quilting. The quilt events have raised nearly $60,000 for Partners for Breast Cancer Care, Inc., a non-profit agency that pays for breast health care for low-income, uninsured Lee County women and men.

The Superstar quilt winner is Linda Horseman. She has lived in Lee County for 11 years. Linda attended the "Ladies Night Out" event and purchased quilt tickets in honor of her aunt and best friend, who are breast cancer survivors. "I never knew there are so many with breast cancer, so I really thought the get together was a wake up call" said Linda.

Partners for Breast Cancer Care, Inc. helped 1,451 women and men in the past 12 months to receive mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies and surgeries. The organization thrives on donations and grants only; no governmental funds. Director, Janet Darnell, says their statistics have doubled from the previous year and donations are becoming more difficult to secure. Susan G. Komen for the Cure SWFL Affiliate and the United Way are supporters, as well as local community foundations. Ms. Darnell hopes more community members will consider donating to the organization in order to continue serving the need in Lee County.

Please contact Partners for Breast Cancer Care, Inc. at 454-8583 for more information.

The San Carlos Fire and Rescue Team has donated over $5,000.00 from calendar sales in 2008 and 2009.
