On Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Nancy N. and J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion, WSAV hosted Healing Heroes: A Tribute to Breast Cancer Survivors, a fashion show featuring breast can- cer survivors from the area. Proceeds from the event will go directly to the Telfair Mammography Fund to help pay for mammograms for uninsured and underinsured women.

Many people came out to support WSAV News Anchor Tina Tyus-Shaw for a celebration of these strong breast cancer survivors from 10 a.m. to noon.

“What a blessing to honor and celebrate these phenomenal breast cancer survivors,” Tina Tyus-Shaw tweeted. Dr. Leonard Henry, MD, MBA, FACS shared “need to know” tidbits on breast cancer. An organized group of ladies called Sisterly made a $500 donation to the cause. Light refreshments were served following the fashion show.
