Woman’s Hospital Committed to Breast Cancer Care; Sets NewDate for BUST Breast Cancer Event Woman’s Hospital has rescheduled its annual BUST Breast Cancer event to March 30 due to the most recent COVID surge. The popular breast cancer fundraiser features cancer survivors mod- eling local artists’ bra-art designs at L’Auberge Baton Rouge, plus a silent and live auction and food from local restaurants. “Many of our models and guests are cancer sur- vivors, so the responsible decision was to host our event at a later date when we can better ensure a safe environment,” said Keila Stovall, Woman’s chief philanthropy officer. “BUST Breast Cancer provides funding for Woman’s Mobile Mammog- raphy program which increases access to mam- mograms for thousands of women throughout south Louisiana.” Woman’s two mobile mammography coaches bring life-saving breast cancer screenings to churches, workplaces, and community centers. In 2021, the program provided more than 3,700 screening mammograms. “We are grateful to everyone who continues to support this event because their generosity gives more women access to life-saving mammograms, financial assistance for medications and transpor- tation, cancer rehab services, survivorship events, and palliative care,” said Stovall. The community can continue to support Wom- an’s Hospital’s breast cancer care.

In its second year, “The Big Adventure” will have more stops and activities, as well as a wrap party to bring all the teams together to celebrate at the end of the scavenger hunt. “Our traditional father-daughter event was altered last year due to the pandemic, and now in its place, this scavenger hunt has turned into a new tradition for the community, where fathers and daughters work together as a team, visiting businesses and landmarks around Baton Rouge to earn points,” said Erik Showalter, president of the Baton Rouge General Foundation. “This event is a great opportunity for families to make memories and engage with new places around our city, all while supporting Baton Rouge General’s patients and care teams.” From the steps of the State Capitol to the bays of Top Golf, the scavenger hunt will take partici- pants across the Greater Baton Rouge area. Using the Goosechase app, participants earn points by completing activities and snapping photos at dif- ferent stops. Adding to the fun, after the scaven- ger hunt, teams are invited to an outdoor wrap party at BRG’s Bluebonnet campus from 4-5:30 p.m. The party will include food trucks, music, and more.
