Greetings,

On behalf of the Natalie Williams Breast Care Foundation, I would like to welcome you to the

1st Annual “An Afternoon with the Girls – Bustier Brunch”.

This special luncheon marks the organization’s first fundraiser in hopes of carrying out its

mission to raise the awareness of breast cancer among women of color throughout the

District of Columbia and beyond.

Since its inception in January 2013, we are proud to announce that the Natalie Williams

Breast Care Foundation has identified over 100 women in the DC Metropolitan area to

receive mammogram testing. Additionally, we are also pleased to announce a partnership

with the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis, which will allow us to provide testing to our

sisters across the waters.

Breast cancer is such a serious disease but can be combatted when caught in its early

stages. We must begin to be vigilant in our self-examinations and annual mammograms.

Early detection truly saves lives!

Again, we thank you for sharing this special moment with us. Your presence here today

ensures that our work to inform and educate women will continue.

Sincerely,

Natalie WilliamsNatalie Williams, Founder/Chair

NATAL I E W I L L I AMS B REAST CARE FOUNDAT ION


2013 BUSTIER BRUNCH – AN AFTERNOON WITH THE GIRLS 6

The Natalie Williams Breast Care Foundation (NWBCF), founded in January 2013, is the

leading voice in the promotion of breast care awareness among women of color.

We focus specifically on the breast cancer disease and early detection, and the overall

promotion of healthy breast care. Our e\orts are targeted in the African American, Latino,

Hispanic, African, and Caribbean communities across the globe.

The NWBCF organization is governed by an elected Board of Directors, which is comprised

of survivors and supporters of breast cancer. We are supported by a medical advisory team

of doctors and nurses who practice in the areas of breast surgery, oncology, radiology and

healthy living – with practices at Howard University Hospital, United Medical Center, and

George Washington University Hospital.

NWBCF was founded following Ms. Williams’ journey with breast cancer at the age of 41.

After being diagnosed in July of 2012, she underwent a double mastectomy, chemotherapy,

and radiation in an e\ort to combat the disease. Today, she attributes her remission to an

increased awareness of the risk factors of breast cancer and her continued focused on a

healthy mind, body, and spirit.
