As you probably know, October is breast cancer awareness month, and this cause is near and dear to my heart. Despite knowing many women who have been affected by breast cancer, many women put off getting screenings, finding the process inconvenient, expensive, and often incomplete, especially for women with dense breast tissue or implants. For those without insurance, it’s even more of a barrier, with costs reaching up to $600 for an exam.

This led me to HerScan, a mobile sonography service offering a more accessible and affordable option for women. They provide breast screenings at $295 without the need for doctor referrals, making the process simpler and quicker. Still, for many women, even this cost can be out of reach.

Our goal is to raise enough money to cover screenings for women in need, helping them access these life-saving tests at no cost. The more we raise, the more women we can support.

That’s where this event comes in.

Join Us at the "Paint the Town Pink" Fundraiser for Breast Cancer Screenings!

on October 10th from 4-8 PM at Irene’s in Austin. Together, we’re raising funds to provide free breast cancer screenings for women in need through HerScan, a mobile sonography service that brings affordable and accessible exams right to our community.

Event Location: Irene’s, 506 West Ave, Austin, TX
When: October 10th, 4-8 PM
Wear: Get into the cause and wear pink!

Help spread the word—together, we can empower women to take charge of their health!

Every $295 we raise covers the cost of one woman’s breast screening—help us reach our goal by attending, bidding in our silent auction, or donating! Let’s make a difference together.

Silent Auction and Vendors:
We have over a dozen pop up shops, vendors and silent auction donations that will be helping raise money for screenings. The more you shop, the more $$ we raise, and the more women we can help. Think of it as early holiday shopping for a cause!

Vendors include:

Massages, Vintage and Resale clothes, Blow out Bar, Hair Salons, Jewelry and more: (see flyer for participants, more are being added daily!)

How You Can Help:
Every $295 we raise will fully fund a breast screening for one woman. Donations from the silent auction, sponsors, and a percentage of sales at the event will help cover as many screenings as possible.

If you can’t make it to the event but would like to make a donation to the cause, you can Venmo here- every donation counts!

If you or anyone you know needs a screening, HerScan will be conducting exams from 9 AM to 4 PM at our office on October 10th. You can book your appointment now via this link.
