The auction featured chairs, decorations and other furniture, which club members decoratively painted with beautiful motifs, such as flowers and themed pieces, to create functional artwork. The items were on display and open for bidding during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

“We are so thankful to our friends at Lost Lake Woods Club. They have been an amazing support for our breast health program over the years. They regularly host the Chair-ity Auction, as well as their Rally for a Cure Golf Outing,” said Ann Diamond, director, MyMichigan Health Foundation. “Both these events bring awareness to breast cancer while raising funds for local breast health patients. The leaders of these projects, especially Paulette Kallstrom who herself is a breast cancer survivor, are sincerely passionate about this cause and we are so thankful for all of their hard work.”

The Breast Health Fund at MyMichigan Medical Center Alpena supports breast cancer prevention, screening, diagnostic testing, educational services, equipment and patient care items. This includes access for eligible individuals to receive financial assistance with screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, breast biopsy, interpretation fees, post breast cancer surgery support materials, breast cancer genetic counseling and transportation needs.
