A Silver Lining Foundation (ASLF) selected

as their 2019 Hometown Hero for her support of their organization. The mission of ASLF is to ensure that socioeconomic status does not affect an individual’s ability to obtain timely breast health testing. They do this by providing respectful and equal access to cost-free breast health testing through a network of partnerships with community, advocacy, and healthcare organizations.
Since opening Second Act Cancer Recovery Boutique in 2008, Pattie, a Certified Mastectomy Fitter, has worked closely with ASLF and was an honorary Dinner Chair at its 2010 annual gala, A Sterling Affair. ASLF Executive Director Dr. Sandy Goldberg spoke at a PWCC luncheon last year. The award was announced and Pattie was honored by the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League at their home game on October 26, 2019.
