MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The WVU Cancer Institute will hold its annual Pink Party on Monday, Sept. 19, to benefit the Bonnie’s Bus Mobile Mammography Unit. 
The event will be held from 6-9 p.m. at The Hotel Morgan in Morgantown and will feature live entertainment by the Bobby Nicholas Band, food, and live and silent auctions. Tickets are $125 and available online at WVUCancerPinkParty.com/Registration.
The Bonnie’s Bus Mobile Mammography Program began its screenings in 2009 through a donation from Jo and Ben Statler and has performed more than 26,000 mammograms.
Since the program began, at least 125 cases of breast cancer have been detected through screenings provided by the Bus. Regular breast screenings can allow for the early detection and treatment of breast cancer.
Bonnie’s Bus provides screenings to patients in all 55 West Virginia counties, and no woman over the age of 40 is turned away due to lack of insurance. Funding for underinsured and uninsured patients is provided through grants and private donations.
Those who cannot attend the Pink Party can support Bonnie’s Bus online at WVUCancer.org/Give.
