Schedule your 2010 appointment for June 23, August 16 or November 18, and enjoy the reward of mouth-watering chocolate – just for taking care of yourself!
A special thank you to McMahon Tire
On January 27, 2010, the mobile mammography coach visited McMahon Tire, 4201 Coldwater Road, Fort Wayne, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. During this special day, host McMahon Tire offered to provide a free oil change for every woman who received her mammogram on the coach. Twelve lucky women were thrilled to take advantage of the offer. Thanks to Kim McMahon of McMahon Tire for her generous offer and her continuing support of Francine's Friends!

Annual fundraising event

An exciting special event will bring our friends together and help raise funds to continue providing mammograms for women who visit the mobile mammography coach.

Thank our supporters
When you visit the mobile mammography coach, remember to thank our many community partners who allow the coach to park in their lots, making it more convenient for women to get this life-saving screening. Companies such as Scott's Food & Pharmacy, Kroger, DeBrand Fine Chocolates, Curves and many others have been with us since the very beginning. Their partnership is invaluable.
Also, thank the many corporations that invite us to come to the workplace for their employees. We are blessed to have so many companies that care.
