In October, Linnie Roberts Elementary School in Bay City raised $1,720 to help local women access mammograms through the Matagorda Regional Medical Center Foundation. Each week, students, families, and staff collected donations and sold items, with proceeds going towards updating 3D software and providing mammograms regardless of patients’ ability to pay. Principal Marissa Wendel emphasized teaching students the impact of small donations. The funds also supported the “Ladies, Know Your Risk” Breast Cancer Awareness event, ensuring early detection and better treatment for the community.
