In Loving Memory of Becky Ayers
KDE knows that breast cancer is a year-round struggle, and we want to do our part to help bring awareness to a disease that has directly impacted our lives; just as it has so many other people.
KDE Cares is not a tagline, it’s a motto. All donations on this page go directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The Breast Cancer Research Foundation has an "A" charity rating by CharityWatch and boasts an 88-program percentage.
Every dollar that goes towards helping research better treatments, preventative measures, and potential cures is a dollar well spent. I think we can ALL agree on that.
A routine breast screening is still the best way to lower your risk of complications from breast cancer. Screening can help find cancer at an early stage when treatment is most effective. Dr David J Patton is an excellent provider for your screening. Look at his amazing on-site 3D mammography and breast ultrasound services here.
