Look Good . . . Feel Better
This brochure is produced by funding from the
Blanche W. Grady Community Service Award.
Funds to underwrite the cost of this brochure are
distributed by Bruce Saint Laurent, 2001 recipient
of the award.
The Scott M. Niswonger Family established the
Grady Award to honor Niswonger’s mother,
Sharon Niswonger, and to recognize the many
volunteer and professional accomplishments of
Mrs. Grady, a valued friend of the Niswonger family. The annual Grady Award is presented to a
community volunteer, who, like Mrs. Grady, has
worked tirelessly without recognition.
A free, national, public-service program to help
women undergoing cancer treatment cope with the
appearance-related side effects of treatment.
Look Good . . . Feel Better is a free, non-medical,
