Recently, Commissioner Sally Heyman donated $10,000 and a Romero Britto Painting to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Affiliate to be displayed at Komen’s Miami/Ft. Lauderdale office.

Eleven-year-old Lexi Lehrman, who has raised more than $24,000 for Susan G. Komen For the Cure Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Affiliate, together with world-renowned pop artist Romero Britto, created a one-of-a-kind artwork of their own interpretation of the breast cancer symbol.

The photos included are of the presentation of the monetary donation and painting by Commissioner Heyman and Lexi Lehrman to Bobbi Meyers, executive director for Susan G. Komen For the Cure Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Affiliate.
