BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Get out those platform shoes and bell bottoms!
For Our Daughters hosted its 10th annual Gala at Salvatore's Hospitality on Transit Road Saturday night.
This year's theme was Disco Night.
Our own Mercedes Wilson founded this organization after being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 28.
For Our Daughters helps young women between the ages of 11-19 live longer by taking control of their own health.
"It really is important to have these conversations when you're young," said volunteer Lisa Sorrentino. "The more you learn the more you want to learn. You'll ask those questions to be able to go into your future having very good information to know how to take care of yourself and your family."
For Our Daughters believes that every young woman should know her family history, and be proactive in speaking up when something isn't quite right with their body.
