JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It's a span of ages, from young professionals to seniors on a fixed income.

But they're all helping our M-Line so women who can't afford a mammogram can get one for free.

Every $100 donated means we can give a free mammogram.  The M-Line is our project with North Florida Komen for the Cure.

We've received more than 2,300 calls so far to our hotline.

Montoya Brower and Associates in Ponte Vedra had a pink party to decorate Hero Bras. The firm handles employee benefits and financial planning.

Chelsea Pastrana of Montoya Brower inspired the event.  She knows the money counts, but the awareness of early detection is absolutely huge, too.

And you'll also see seniors at Lane Wiley Senior Center on the Westside.  Even though many are on fixed incomes, they wanted to give back.  They raised more than $600 for the Mammogram Hotline.

So a big thanks to them an organizer Yvette Rogers-Kidd.

Excellent work!
