ASLF co-founders Dr. Sandy Goldberg and Greg Hines.
The Cause: A Silver Lining Foundation (ASLF) hosted its “Glitz & Glamour” fashion show fundraiser at The Peninsula Chicago with over 200 guests in attendance. Co-founded in 2002 by Dr. Sandy Goldberg and her husband Greg Hines, ASLF has evolved from a single outreach program connecting those in need with breast health resources and information, to a funder of lifesaving breast health testing. At the foundation’s heart is its “Buy A Mom a Mammogram” program which, to date, has funded the full spectrum of breast health testing for more than 31,000 uninsured and underinsured men and women.
