PFC Bunco Bash for Breast Care

Prescott Free Clinic is hosting our second annual Bunco Bash for Breast Care on February 6, 2022 at the Prescott Resort & Conference Center.

The game of Bunco is fun, exciting, and easy to play! In addition to the game, there will be hors d’oeuvres and refreshments, a chocolate fountain, cash bar, photo booth, and plenty of raffle items and prizes to win! Tickets are $25 and all proceeds from this event will go directly to providing breast cancer treatment services in Northern Arizona for low income, or uninsured patients.

This event benefits Community Health Center of Yavapai’s (CHCY) Well Woman HealthCheck and Treatment Link programs. With the support of donors, CHCY’s Well Woman HealthCheck provided free breast and cervical cancer screenings and diagnostic services to over 800 low-income women in 2020. Additionally, more than 8,550 patients have been served by the Well Woman HealthCheck program since its inception in 2001, and donations make a monumental impact to some of our community’s most vulnerable women.

The Treatment Link program covers the out-of-pocket expenses associated with breast cancer treatment for low-income patients in Yavapai County. This program is essential as the out-of-pocket financial expense for breast cancer treatment for an uninsured individual could be devastating. This expense is astronomical for low-income patients already struggling to financially stay afloat.

Of the women born in the United States, 12.9% will develop some form of breast cancer in their lifetime. In Yavapai County, 12% of the population lives below the Federal Poverty Level and 14.8% are uninsured. It is critical for CHCY and Prescott Free Clinic to fundraise and receive donations, so women in need can receive the exceptional, lifesaving care they deserve.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there was a sharp decline in cancer screenings in 2020, with an 87% decline in breast cancer screenings and an 85% decline in cervical cancer screenings. The goal of screening for cancer is to catch cancers early because outcomes are significantly better when the cancer is detected early, and the cancer is easier to treat. With the significant decline in screenings in 2020, we anticipate the need for screenings and treatment to surge as people return to a normal routine.
