BASBLUE FIRESIDE CHAT

This Fireside Chat on Breast Health was held at BasBlue and fostered transformational dialogue to engage women from the Detroit community in networking and empowerment while learning from leading experts in breast health from Karmanos Cancer Institute and University of Michigan.

The event was moderated by Jacqueline Jeruss, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Vice President for Research, Integrity and Compliance, Associate Dean for Regulatory Affairs, Director, Breast Surgical Oncology Fellowship and Professor of Surgery, Pathology, and Biomedical Engineering at University of Michigan.

It featured a multidisciplinary panel of providers in the fields of Surgery, Medical Oncology, Breast Imaging, and Gynecology.

PLUM MARKET PARTNERSHIP

The Dynami Foundation partnered with Plum Market to donate to the Uncork For a Cure cause at all Michigan locations in 2019. Locals shopped to support the cause by rounding up on their tab at check-out or simply donating a flat amount. We have raised $13,000 to-date through this initiative for breast cancer research!

Master Sommelier of Plum Market, Madeline Triffon, who is also the first Woman Master Sommelier in the United States, curates wine pairings for the annual Uncork For a Cure event. Triffon is dedicated to supporting breast cancer research as her family has been directly affected by the disease. She supported her cousin, Dynami founder, Flora Migyanka, as she survived her diagnosis.
