At last night’s Zachary City Council Meeting, Councilman James Graves honored several incredible women who are breast cancer survivors: Tamara Dayton, a Zachary resident, along with his family members Diane Moran, Letha Pfister, and cousin Deshore Pfister. These strong women shared their survival stories and reflected on the breast cancer trait that runs in their family.

Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among women, impacting families and communities across the nation, including right here in Zachary. Early detection through regular screenings and public awareness is key to improving survival rates and saving lives.

Councilman Graves emphasized that the City of Zachary stands with survivors, honors those we have lost, and remains committed to raising awareness. 💕

👉 On Thursday, October 23rd, Mayor David McDavid encourages every Zachary resident to wear pink for Pink Out Day in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness.

👉 Then, on Thursday, October 30th at 11:00 a.m., join us for a Breast Cancer Awareness Benefit! Stop by the City Annex Parking Lot (4650 Main Street) and purchase a delicious chicken and sausage gumbo lunch. All proceeds will support breast cancer awareness efforts. 🍲🎀

Together, let’s unite to support survivors, remember loved ones, and continue the fight to end breast cancer.
