         On October 29th, 2008 the White Buffalo Calf Woman Society hosted their 6th annual Brest Cancer Awareness dinner in Rosebud, SD.

     Every year, over 45.000 American women lose their lives to breast cancer. About one in almost every eight women will develop the disease in our life time, far too many. After lung cancer, this is the leading killer among women under 35 and it is by far the leading cause of cancer death among women ages 35 to 54.

     The White Buffalo Calf Woman Society, Inc. hosted their sixth annual breast cancer awareness dinner on October 29^th, 2008 at 6:00 pm at the veterans building in Rosebud, SD.

     This year’s events focused on honoring and celebrating the lives of those who did not survived and those living with the disease. An arts and craft project was completed during the event and will be displayed at the Rosebud’s IHS women’s clinic.
