There’s a need, are you listening?
A campaign we are christening
Together we’ll fight
To make things all right
Funding Orange County mammograms.

With your help, we’ll be grinning
Keepin’ more people winning
Detection’s the key
When it’s early
Funding Orange County mammograms.

Closing in on where we need to get to
Makin’ progress each and every day
But there’s still a need for us to ask you
To help us reach our goal without delay

Your support is the reason
Komen’s thankful this season
When lives are at stake
A difference we’ll make
Funding Orange County mammograms.
