From The Executive Director SUSAN SAMAROO Dear Friends, Spending time with our donors and friends at the Pink Diamond Gala every year is a highlight of my role as Executive Director. I have learned from our conversations that for many of you, your support for the Maurer Foundation is deeply personal. Breast cancer has touched you or your loved ones, and you share our passion for education on prevention and early detection. Your stories are a continual source of inspiration for the entire team at the Maurer Foundation. We dedicate our days to ensuring your financial support provides the widest possible reach. Since last year's Pink Diamond Gala, we have reached nearly 20,000 people with our life-saving message of proactively reducing breast cancer risk and improving early detection. This past year, our educators presented almost 600 breast health education programs in high schools, colleges, and community groups across Long Island and the greater New York area. We have also certified new educators outside our community, so that our message can spread even further across the United States. These amazing achievements can only be realized through the support of our local community—people just like you. Thank you for trusting us with your financial support, and for sharing your stories with me.
With much appreciation,
Susan Samaroo Executive Director

THE MAURER FOUNDATION PINK DIAMOND GALA 2016
From The Founder VIRGINIA E. MAURER, MD Dear Supporters, Thank you for joining us tonight at the Pink Diamond Gala. In 2015, we celebrated the Maurer Foundation's 20th anniversary. For me, this year marks a professional milestone–the beginning of my 40th year in surgical practice. As a breast surgeon and breast cancer specialist, I strongly believe that I have treated many breast cancer patients at an earlier stage of disease because of the Foundation’s message regarding early detection and identification of lifestyle risk factors that can be modified. This belief continues to drive our mission at the Maurer Foundation to educate and empower young people. Practically, our educators deliver that message by reaching young people right where they are. We visit high schools, colleges, and community groups such as Girl Scout troops to share powerful details about how good nutrition, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and smoking can help reduce the risk of breast cancer. To date, we've reached over 300,000 individuals with this life-saving information. Our programs would not be possible without your generous ongoing support. Your presence this evening reflects your commitment to the Maurer Foundation in reaching students across our Long Island community. On behalf of the Foundation and the young people whose own personal stories you are changing for the better...I thank you.
Best,
Virginia E. Maurer Founder
