Female Forward is an annual, dynamic event designed to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This October we’re blending women’s health with what we do best – providing a space for you to get together, get checked or give back. Female Forward is brought to you by participating University Village merchants offering donations for a portion of sales, discounts or hosting cancer-based charitable organizations as well as health-based partners like, Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health.
For details on Female Forward including special guests, pop-ups, charitable organizations, ways to schedule your annual mammogram and more, just keep scrolling.
