Roses will be sold for $5 and proceeds from the sale will go to the Kaweah Delta Foundation’s Lost Girls Mammogram Fund created by the Lost Girls Motorcycle Club. If a low-income woman, 40 and under, is in need of a mammogram and cannot pay for it, the fund pays for the mammogram at the Kaweah Delta Breast Center.
