In spring 2009, West Virginia University (WVU) launched “Bonnie’s Bus,” a mobile digital mammography screening unit. Dedicated to providing women with support, the 40-foot long bus visits areas where women may otherwise be forced to travel long distances for screenings.    The bus and mammograms are made possible through a generous gift from Jo and Ben Statler to the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center. Their donation underwrote the Bonnie Wells Wilson Mobile Mammography Program as well as two endowed research positions at WVU. The gift was made in honor of Mrs. Statler’s late mother, Bonnie Wells Wilson, who died of breast cancer.
 

The Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation has served West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania since it was established in 1944 by Michael and Sarah Benedum. Grants are made to support specific initiatives in the areas of Education, Economic Development, Health and Human Services, and Community Development. Benedum funds support outreach efforts, particularly to disparate populations as well as activities of the Bonnie’s Bus State Partners Committee.
 

State Komen Funds support follow-up and patient navigation for patients screened on Bonnie’s Bus. They also pay for mammograms for women who are uninsured or underinsured and don’t qualify for other programs.

 

The mission of Breast Cancer Relief Foundation (BCRF) is to support educational, prevention, medical assistance and relief, and innovative research programs in order to reduce the incidence of breast cancer throughout the world.
