14th Annual Two Rivers Art/Antiques Show & Garden Tour
Honoring
Bruno and Lindsey LaRocca

Dear Friend,
Since its inception more than a decade ago, the Two Rivers Antiques/Art Show and Garden Tour has raised in excess of $2 million for the Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center at Monmouth Medical Center. As we plan each year for this event, we are frequently asked what sets the Breast Center apart from other similar facilities. The answer is simple: No other facility in central New Jersey provides a total comprehensive approach to breast care, delivered by a multidisciplinary team of physicians and health professionals representing many medical disciplines. These professionals work together to provide women with a full range of services, including diagnostic testing, treatment, surgical, medical, psychosocial support, education and rehabilitation services. But most importantly, medical record outcome data has been compiled that shows that hundreds of women treated at the breast center indeed have some of the finest results ever documented and one of the lowest recurrence rates in the nation.

The Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center at Monmouth Medical Center offers the most-comprehensive array of breast services – for both well and cancer care - to all women regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances, and consistently remains a leader in breast cancer research, technology, diagnosis and treatment. As one of a select group of international medical centers, it participates in the prestigious federally funded DMIST clinical trial. This is the largest study ever to compare routine and digital mammography in a screening population. The Breast Center is helping to pave the way in many areas of research.

The progress of the Breast Center would not be possible without fundraising and private donations.

This year’s event will be held on Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8, 2008 and features a tour of six spectacular gardens and a high-quality Art/Antiques Show at the Red Bank Armory Ice Complex. Your participation in the Two Rivers Art/Antiques Show and Garden Tour and generous support as a sponsor is vital to our success in raising the funds needed to remain at the forefront of breast cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment. We invite you to be an important part of our efforts.

Please review the 2008 sponsorship and underwriting opportunities, and join us in supporting, educating and treating all women from our community. It is estimated there will be 43,910 women in New Jersey diagnosed with breast cancer this year. They are your mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and friends. Together, we can make a difference!
