Dear Friend of the George E. Thorne Development Center:

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in honor of this time we are pleased to invite you to be part of the Seventh Annual Praise Is The Cure® Week of Hope, Health, and Healing! We are thrilled to begin Breast Cancer Awareness Month by rejoicing with more than 30,000 women and men who believe that “Praise Is The Cure®,” from September 30 through October 6, 2012 throughout Philadelphia, PA!

During our week of programming we will feature several events, including:- Our citywide community Breast Cancer Awareness Day - Our Annual Children’s Festival- Health Fair screenings and Wellness Workshops- A Pampering Party for breast cancer patients and survivors- Men’s Only Forum: “Real Men Wear Pink—Taking Care of Others and Yourself”- Our highly anticipated Annual Concert

Our Praise Is The Cure® programming has become an awaited tradition for many of our attendees, especially our survivors and patients of breast cancer. It is through your partnership and the contribution of your time, talent, treasure, and resources that we continue to bring a week of Hope, Health, and Healing into the Delaware Valley each year, while supporting such an enriching cause.

We sincerely hope that there will come a day when support for Breast Cancer is not as essential as it is today and a cure is uncovered for this disease. However, today that is not the case and because that is so, your partnership has great urgency. The barometer of our current economy has caused many of us to be more conscious of what we support. We ask that as you reflect on your charitable gift, you remember that by supporting this mission, you’re not only supporting our fight against breast cancer, but also families, children, men, women, the rich, the poor, and every ethnic group -- because breast cancer effects all of us; it does not discriminate.

As you consider your partnership with Praise Is The Cure®, please know that you will be helping us inspire families, inform communities, and save lives. We are most grateful for your support. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Anita T. Conner John K. Conner, Jr. Founder & CEO Executive Director

About

ABOUT US

George E. Thorne Development Center

of her father. George E. Thorne was a native of Philadelphia who started his own engineering firm at a time when business opportunities were frequently denied to African-Americans. As a certified public accountant and financial advisor with her own successful small business, Anita created GETDC to share with young adults the lessons learned of hard work, perseverance, self-confidence, and financial management which was her father’s legacy to her.

In 2006, The George E. Thorne Development Center expanded its mission with the founding of Praise Is The Cure® (PITC). Each year African American women are dying from breast cancer at alarming rates, because prevention tools, breast health education, and resources for treatment are not readily available. PITC was founded to put an end to this needless trend. As a result of a first hand encounter with the deadly disease and after personally navigating through the difficulties of advanced stage breast cancer themselves, the founder Anita T. Conner and her daughter Kerri M. Conner saw how much education and breast health awareness were needed in the African American community.

Praise Is The Cure® recognizes the need for targeted information and education for African American women and their families. Through a mix of community outreach, entertainment, and educational wellness programs, PITC has reached more than 100,000 people.

The goal is simple:Create more survivors and galvanize communities to take part in

the fight against breast cancer

No longer can we be aware of the devastating statistics and gruesome outcomes of breast cancer and ignore those who die without a chance to fight, fail to support their caregivers, and not share the wealth of knowledge we’ve acquired that can save lives.

Praise Is The Cure® Week of Hope, Health, and Healing enables women to receive mammograms and other health screenings each year, celebrates patients and survivors and educates communities that are losing the fight from lack of breast health education. Each year, PITC is changing the story, realigning the statistics, and is welcoming new warriors that support the urgency for a cure in the African American community. We fight today so we can celebrate tomorrow!

PITC is supported by thousands of people who have caught the vision of Hope, Health and Healing through education, access to resources, and perseverance.

My life was spared so that I could save anotherAnita T. Conner,
