Cobblestone Cottage Donates $2,500 to Sheila R. Veloz Breast Imaging Center
Kathy Allie, owner of Cobblestone Cottage, recently donated $2,500 to the local breast imaging center. Allie raised the donated funds by matching the $1,750 in sales from Brighton "Pink Too" bracelets sold at her store through the month of October, and then contributed an additional $550 from her own funds to support the cause. A raffle was also held during the month that raised $200 for a limited edition Brighton denim jacket with red crocodile leather.
The funds will go towards a new stereotactic unit for the breast imaging center. The unit will offer more precision in obtaining tissue for biopsy with the patients' comfort in mind.
