Jim Hudson Foundation donates $25K to support breast health in the Midlands

To raise awareness about Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Jim Hudson Foundation presented a $25,000 check to support Prisma Health Breast Centers in the Midlands on Thursday, Oct. 10, at the new Jim Hudson Toyota in Sumter.

The donation was presented to Prisma Health Midlands Foundation and Prisma Health Tuomey Foundation.

The generous gift will help fund the most state-of-the-art equipment, treatments and support programs for patients served by Prisma Health Breast Centers in the Midlands.

"Jim Hudson Automotive Group is honored to donate $25,000 to the Prisma Health Midlands Foundation/Tuomey Hospital in honor of Breast Cancer month. Jim Hudson Automotive Group is dedicated to assisting in the early detection, prevention and finding a cure for breast cancer; getting to present this check at the all-new Jim Hudson Toyota of Sumter made it even more special," said Keith Hudson, president of Jim Hudson Automotive Group.

Breast cancer continues to be the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the Midlands and is the most common cancer diagnosed among women in the U.S.

Approximately 1 in 8 women (13%) in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in their life.

"Jim Hudson Automotive Group's generous gift to Prisma Health Breast Centers will make a profound impact on patient care, support and treatment right here in the Midlands community," said Jeffery Faw, Prisma Health Midlands Foundation executive director. "We thank the Jim Hudson team for helping ensure our community continues to offer the highest quality of care in breast cancer treatments through their support of the Walk for Life and Famously Hot Pink 1/2 Marathon + 5K and this donation to Prisma Health Breast Centers."

Prisma Health Breast Health Centers provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to breast health where women can be comforted in knowing they're receiving the best in medical science and compassionate care.
