Security Traders Association of Florida Selects Promise Fund as its 2025 Charitable Foundation Honoree

West Palm Beach, FL, October 23, 2024 – Promise Fund, a South Florida based non-profit that offers no-cost breast and cervical cancer screenings and continuum care for uninsured and under insured women in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin Counties, has been selected by Security Traders Association of Florida to honor as its 2025 Charitable Foundation. STA Florida is the leading trade organization for individual professionals in the securities industry whose mission is to improve ethics, business standards and working environment for its members. The official presentation to Promise Fund will take place at STA Florida’s 43^rd Annual Conference, February 27 – March 1, 2025.

Founded in 2018 by Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, Promise Fund is dedicated to increasing survivorship from breast and cervical cancer by providing guided support and access to screenings, as well as early detection, treatment, and beyond. To date, the organization has reached 40,208 individuals through outreach and education and has impacted the lives of 14,576 women through access to screenings, diagnostics, and care.

“Many women encounter barriers to screening and diagnosis primarily due to work commitments, childcare, lack of transportation, and fear of the costs,” said Ambassador Brinker. “Knowing that early detection saves lives, we’re working every day to make sure we eliminate those barriers and reach our goal of screening 100% of underserved women in our local communities. It’s the first and most critical step in ensuring these women get the early care they deserve.”

The organization co-locates its Promise Fund Women’s Health Program in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), which provide access to Patient Navigation, mammography and breast ultrasounds and help women access treatment for cancer if needed. In addition, dedicated patient navigators are there every step of the way—guiding women through the screening process and coordinating treatment if a cancer diagnosis is made.

“With the support of STA Florida, we can continue to spread our message that help is available to those women who need it,” said Ambassador Brinker. “We are extremely grateful to partners such as STA Florida who so enthusiastically support our cause.”
