Town of Kearny holds Annual Tie a Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness Event

On Sunday, October 3, 2021, Mayor Alberto G. Santos and Councilmember Maytrine De Castro joined Emma Quintana, members of Mujeres Valientes (Brave Women) and Minette’s Angels Foundation for the 17th annual Breast Cancer Awareness Tie a Pink Ribbon event in front of Kearny Town Hall.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the pink ribbons are meant to send the message that “Mammograms Save Lives.” Mujeres Valientes (Brave Women) is a support group, founded 17 years ago by Kearny resident Emma Quintana, for women and families battling breast cancer.  Mayor Santos lauded all of the members of Mujeres Valientes (Brave Women) for their strength and willingness to help others in our community.  Over the years, the members of this organization have supported each other and increased public awareness about the importance of early detection.

The kick-off event in the Town of Kearny is co-sponsored by Mujeres Valientes and Minette’s Angels Foundation.
