American and Hispanic women. One of the Affiliate’s local grant

Chandler Woman
Honored for Breast Cancer Outreach Among Local Chinese Community
 When
Faustine Chan was in junior high school, a
representative of Komen Phoenix visited her classroom. Faustine went home and told her mother – a Chinese
woman who knew virtually nothing about breast cancer – what she had
learned. Within two weeks, her mother had found a lump. Today, more
than 15 years later, Faustine continues to
take every opportunity she can to educate others about breast health
and breast cancer. For her efforts, she was recently named the
recipient of the 2011 Joyce Gooding Spirit of Komen Award. Learn
