“The Maurer Foundation is an excellent organization who has provided many years of breast Health education for my high school students. Every presenter and presentation is so professional and the material is very interesting for our students. They have learned so much and we are so grateful for every experience. We look forward to working with this foundation for years to come”
M.D., Hofstra University Student
“I really liked the positive approach for this subject. There was no fear-mongering, narrowing of choices, or pressure to do things in a particular way. I appreciated being given facts and what I believed to be accurate statistics so I may make my own choices. Part of making those choices involves knowing all options available as well.”
Emily, Massapequa High School Student
“Thank you for coming to my classroom. I think it is very important to educate people my age on breast cancer prevention and breast cancer awareness. I really enjoyed the presentation. My favorite parts were the pear deck slides that you could draw on. I think those interactive slides really helped my class stay engaged and focused throughout the presentation. Thank you so much!”
