JoMa Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization formed to increase awareness of breast cancer for African American and other minority women. We hope to serve as an equalizer that will make a difference by spreading the word and raising awareness of breast cancer in African American and other minority Communities. We intend to accomplish this by offering free, community-based breast health education and breast cancer screening, where not available. A percentage of our funding supports our mission to help with the research of breast cancer as a life threatening disease. All our services are in efforts to increase the odds for survival by early detection and one day find a cure for this deadly disease. Our signature ribbon, designed by Joan M. Gibson, is in loving memory of her sister-in-law Fay Earle. After a ten-year battle Fay succumbed to breast cancer in May 1995. Joan M. Gibson, Founder and President of JoMa Foundation, Inc., has been an active participant in the fight against breast cancer and a medical professional for 20 plus years. She currently is a local mammographer in the Central Florida area, where her experience and expertise in the Mammography area have been on display for the last several years. With virtually no marketing effort, she is probably considered one of the most knowledgeable African American Mammographers. JoMa Foundation’s signature ribbon has received recognition by numerous Central Florida organizations and she has also spoken about breast-related health issues to various groups and organizations, and has spoken on different radio shows as well as newsreel. |
