Free cancer screenings set for low-income women
Thursday, June 17, 1999 | 10:16 a.m.
Help from ticket-sale donations will enable qualifying women to receive free mammograms Saturday and again on June 24.
Saturday's free screenings will be held at the Community Health Center, Nucleus Plaza, 916 W. Owens Ave., beginning at 10 a.m. The June 24 screenings will be part of a job fair at the Primm Valley hotel-casino Conference Center from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The free screenings are courtesy of donations that will be made by Primadonna Resorts Inc. to Women's Information Network Against Breast Cancer and the American Cancer Society.
Women at least 40 years old who earn less than $21,000 annually are eligible for the screenings. Results of the screenings will be available through the women's doctors or through the Clark County Health District.
The donations represent portions of ticket sales to "Sang Sista Sang." The musical, written and produced by Smokey Robinson and Mickey Stevenson, celebrates the careers of post-World War II jazz and blues singers Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Dorothy Dandridge, Josephine Baker and Mahalia Jackson.
"Sang Sista Sang" will be performed at Buffalo Bill's Star of the Desert Arena June 24 at 8 p.m. Buffalo Bill's is in Primm, 45 miles south of Las Vegas off Interstate 15.
Tickets are available at Buffalo Bill's box office. Those wishing to also book a room may call (800) FUN-STOP. Tickets are also available from TicketMaster at 474-4000.
