Florida License Plate Proposed to Raise Funds for Breast Cancer Research |
|
The Florida Breast Cancer Coalition is hoping to raise funds for breast cancer research and education by securing state approval of a new license plate promoting breast cancer awareness. The sponsors of the initiative said that if they submit signatures of 15,000 licensed Florida drivers by September, the new plate can be voted on by the Florida Legislature next February and the plate can be issued by the summer of 2002. They said sale of the special license plate has the potential of raising more than $3 million annually in a state that has the third highest rate of breast cancer in the country."Money for research is the only way to find out what causes breast cancer, how to cure breast cancer, and most importantly, how to prevent cancer," said Jane Torres, president of the FBCC.
