Delta Cotton Belles, a 501 (C)(3) based out of Greenville, Mississippi, is celebrating 18 years of caring and supporting women and men in the Delta! We have been able to continue its original mission of lowering the incidence of later-stage breast cancer by providing free mammograms and clinical breast screenings for medically underserved women. Since its inception, the Pink Promise mammogram program has provided over 900 mammograms for working, uninsured women. The Pink Check Up is a community outreach program wherein professional healthcare providers perform clinical breast screenings in a comfortable, non-threatening environment. DCB is proud to partner with area churches, clinics, and organizations to host these free screenings. We know these efforts, when coupled with education, save lives through early detection and treatment. Our Wrapped in Pink program was created to meet the emotional and physical needs of all individuals in our service area who are diagnosed with breast cancer. These services include: personal visits, post diagnosis care packages, prosthetic fittings, mastectomy bras, wigs, gas cards, monthly support group meetings, professional counseling, and dedicated events that honor survivors. In 2024, over $65,0000 was spent to assist breast cancer clients. To date, DCB has served over 1,000 women and men following their diagnosis of breast cancer.
