Art For The Bridge raises funds for The Bridge Breast Network, a non-profit organization
that links uninsured and underserved individuals to life-saving breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The impact is great! For each $1 raised, The Bridge Breast Network of healthcare
professionals provides $10 of life-saving medical care. Since its inception in 1992, the network has supported more than 78,000 individuals in 16 North Texas counties.
Art For The Bridge presents a huge opportunity to impact the following startling statistics:
1 in 4 Texans are uninsured (most of who are employed)
Breast cancer affects 1 in 7 women, and 2 of these 7 are uninsured
Uninsured women are more likely to be diagnosed at stage III or IV
Uninsured women are 60% more likely to die

In 2007, Art for the Bridge organized an Art Auction Preview Party and a Black Tie Artists’ Dinner. Both events 100% underwritten by individual and corporate sponsors so that every
leveraged dollar raised goes directly to providing health care. The auction raised and donated $100,000 to The Bridge Breast Network. With each one of these dollars providing
ten times its value in care, The Bridge will provide a total of $1 million of services in 2008.
