Nov 2 – Whittier speaker confirmed: Vicky Figueroa
My name is Victor Escobedo. I am a 12 &under girls fast-pitch softball coach from Whittier, Ca. The reason why I am writing you is to inform you of the following. My sister-in-law has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery on Sept 25th to remove her right breast. It has not been an easy road for our family especially getting medical authorizations for ultra-sounds, an MRI, and doctor's visits since she has medi-cal insurance.On Sunday Nov 2, 2008 at 9:30am our girls softball team named "12U SoCal Next Level" along with another Whittier team named "The 12U West-Coast Voodoo" will host a benefit double-header softball game at Cerritos High School in Cerritos CA. This benefit game will be played in honor of my sister-in-law Lily Gomez and will also be held to make people aware of breast cancer. We are inviting your organization to our benefit and would greatly appreciate if someone could give a short breast awareness informative speech, if possible.

Nov 4, 6, 13, OR 20
I am writing on behalf of the Student Government Association of Alliant International University in Alhambra. I am writing to invite someone from your organization to speak to clinical psychology students here on our campus about the experience of breast cancer.
As clinicians-in-training, we are dedicated to increasing our knowledge and cultural competency of underserved communities, and to learn from someone or from an organization that represents a leading cause of death in women, especially minority women, and to learn about ways that we as clinicians can be advocates, would be extremely edifying for students.

We have November 4 from 12-1 for a lunch, or the 6th , 13th and 20th available either from 12-1 for lunch or a 5-7 dinner. We'd be delighted to hear about issues related to breast cancer and their affects on families, women, and minorities, and also how people at our school can be involved as clinicians or as citizens.
