Promedica Cancer Institute & Toledo - Genetic Testing
The members of Lambie's Legacy are aware that in our community some people are unable to get genetic testing because they do not have adequate health insurance coverage or financial means. We provide funding on a case-by-case basis so that patients can obtain the recommended genetic testing and counseling. If you have a patient who meets NCCN guidelines but is unable to have testing or counseling due to cost, please reach out to Lambie's Legacy. The University of Toledo – Center for Health and Successful Living The UT Center for Health and Successful Living provides free health and wellness services, education and support for survivors of cancer. In addition the Center is providing free screening days for people in the community who do not have resources available to them by offering free mobile mammograms and breast examinations to the most despaired populations throughout our local community. Because the University of Toledo’s passionate doctors, professors and student interns, volunteer their time for this program, it has limited operating expenses. |

Susan G. Komen – Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure
Lambie started Team Pretty in Pink (now Team Lambie’s Legacy) more than 10 years ago to gather her friends in support of the cause. As with many of the organizations that Lambie touched, she brought life to this team and made it fun! We continued the tradition every year with a team of over 60 people at the Race for the Cure in downtown Toledo. Since 2010 when Lambie held the first annual Cocktails for the Cure, over $83,000 has been donated to Komen Northwest Ohio in Lambie’s name. Please join our team and contact Lambie’s Legacy if you want a Lambie’s Legacy team T-shirt. |

The Victory Center
The Victory Center provides hope and support to cancer patients, survivors, and those closest to them by offering free services that help them cope with the different stages of cancer and survivorship giving them a higher quality of life. Services include massage, reflexology, facials, yoga, counseling and support groups. The Victory Center, where Lambie served as a board member, held a special place in her heart as she saw the compassion and importance of offering comfort to patients during the trying stages of cancer, especially to those who couldn’t otherwise afford these services. Good Grief of Northwest Ohio It is Good Grief's mission to create awareness of and support for grieving children and their families and to provide a safe and caring place for children to grapple with and come to understand, thoughts, fears, questions and emotions associated with grief and loss. Good Grief's open-ended, age-appropriate peer grief support sessions are led by trained facilitators. |

ProMedica Toledo Hospital Foundation and ProMedica Toledo Hospital Breast Care Center
We proudly continue to partner with ProMedica to provide free mammograms, affectionately called Lambograms, to the uninsured and underinsured in our area. We also supported the campaign to bring breast Tomosynthesis technology to ProMedica. This technology, known as 3D mammography, will change the game in breast cancer screening. It not only accelerates the early detection of breast cancer but also decreases the number of abnormal screens requiring call backs, thus relieving unnecessary anxiety. |
