October Charity Partner: Get In Touch Foundation
Oct 03, 2024
For October, we have partnered with The Get In Touch Foundation as part of our #EveryCaseCounts initiative. A share of our proceeds will be going to the nonprofit. Learn more about the organization below.
What Is The Get In Touch Foundation?
The Get In Touch Foundation is a nonprofit organization that promotes informed decisions regarding breast health through free and accessible education. The originators of the Daisy Wheel, Get In Touch uses the wheel to educate generations on the eight steps needed to complete a breast self-exam.
The free Daisy Wheel app is also available for easy access to breast health information and reminders to conduct routine breast self-exams. Get In Touch provides additional resources for educators on their website, aiming to make breast self-exams simple and routine for everyone.
Founded by Mary Ann Wasil in 2004, The Get In Touch Foundation aims to equip girls with the necessary knowledge and skills to examine themselves and recognize anything unusual that could pose a health threat. Now run by Mary Ann’s daughter, Betsy Nilan, Get In Touch has distributed over a million Daisy Wheels, attended numerous conferences, and volunteered at several events reflecting Mary Ann’s mission.
