About the Campaign

WMMC is committed to enhancing breast cancer detection and care in our community. Early and accurate detection saves lives, and this campaign will expand access, reduce wait times, and improve outcomes for patients in our region.

The $880,000 project includes:

  • Two Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle 3D Mammography Machines (one with stereotactic biopsy capability)
  • One Samsung RS85 Prestige Ultrasound Machine for patients with dense breast tissue

WMMC has committed $25,000 toward construction, and the WMMC Foundation has pledged to raise the remaining $855,000 to acquire these critical diagnostic tools. With this advanced technology, patients will benefit from faster, more precise screenings delivered with greater comfort and confidence.

What Should I Wear?

Formal attire is encouraged as we bring the enchanting spirit of “Midnight in Paris” to life. Imagine the romance and elegance of Paris after dark—midnight blue, shimmering fabrics, and a touch of Parisian flair. You’ll see a range of outfits, from guests dressed to the nines in full gala attire to those opting for a more casual look with jeans and a nice shirt. Whether you choose to make a statement or keep it relaxed, channel your own Parisian night. Ultimately, it’s up to you, and you can’t go wrong either way!

Consejos sobre el código de vestimenta:
  • Parisian Glamour: Embrace sophisticated evening wear—think elegant dresses, gowns, or tailored suits in midnight blue or other jewel tones.
  • Effortless Chic: For a more relaxed approach, consider smart casual attire with a stylish twist—crisp jeans paired with a dressy top, or a blazer for added Parisian charm.
  • Complementar: Complete your look with a hint of Parisian flair—silk scarves, bold jewelry, or a statement hat.
  • Shimmer & Shine: Sequins, metallics, and shimmering accents are welcome to capture the magic of a Paris night.

What Games Will You Have?

Our event feature classic casino favorites like Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, and Craps, plus fun additions such as Plinko, Money Wheel, Money Cube, and more. Our games will be staffed by professional dealers who will be happy to teach you how to play.

Is There Real Money on the Line?

No, your “gambling” winnings will be converted into raffle tickets that you can redeem for a chance at winning a cash prize.

What If I Don't Know How to Play?

That’s okay! All games are beginner-friendly, with professional dealers eager to teach the basics to newcomers. No prior experience is required. After all, they call it beginners’ luck for a reason!
