Plate
Dear Friend:
Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of
cancer-related deaths among women in the
United States, with about one in eight
women developing the disease in her life¬
time.
Susan Goodman Komen of Peoria was diag¬
nosed in 1978 with breast cancer. Two years
later, she lost her battle with this deadly dis¬
ease. With the tragic loss of her sister, Nancy
Goodman Brinker established the Susan G.
Komen Foundation to educate the public
and eradicate breast cancer as a life-threat¬
ening disease.
As Secretary of State it is an honor to make
available the "Mammograms Save Lives"
License Plate. By purchasing a set of the
plates, you are helping to provide
mammograms and related services to Illinois
women who lack the finances for these ser¬
vices. A portion of the proceeds from the sale
of the plates goes to the Mammogram Fund,
administered statewide by the Susan G.
Komen Breast Cancer Foundation—Peoria
Memorial Affiliate, Inc.
To receive an application for "Mammograms
Save Lives" License Plates, please use the
