oin us for a fun and meaningful program to raise awareness for breast health and cancer genes while kneading and braiding pink challah dough. Dr. Sharla Patterson, breast surgical oncologist at Magnolia Breast Center, will address both the increased hereditary risks for cancer in the Jewish community and modifying risk factors. She will also provide strategies for empowering individuals to take charge of their own health.
And you will take home a braided challah to bake in your own oven. Sharsheret improves the lives of Jewish women and families living with or at increased genetic risk for breast or ovarian cancer through personalized support and saves lives through educational outreach.
Dr. Sharla Patterson
While our expertise is in young women and Jewish families as related to breast cancer and ovarian cancer, Sharsheret programs serve all women and men. Wear pink for this free event co-sponsored by Sharsheret and Jewish Federation of Greater Naples. Please register at https:// JFGN.regfox.com/pinkchallah-bake.
