💗 Thank you, Laurel Asphalt!
We’re so grateful to our friends at Laurel Asphalt for their generous $2,200 donation to the Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center!
Their team went above and beyond—selling T-shirts, collecting scrap metal, and matching donations—to raise funds that directly support patients in our community.
Proceeds benefit the Pink Ribbon Care Fund, which provides assistance to patients who are unable to pay for breast-related health services, including mammograms and follow-up diagnostic care.
Your generosity helps ensure that cost is never a barrier to care. 💕
