The Gallatin Post Office is decorated in pink, and postal clerks are encouraging customers to purchase the Breast Cancer Research stamps. The Breast Cancer Research Stamps are also available at all area post offices including Winston, Altamont, McFall, Pattonsburg, Jameson and Coffey.
These self-adhesive semi-postal stamps are available year-round to help raise funds for breast cancer research. Each stamp is equal to the First Class mail one-ounce postage rate in effect at the time of purchase.
To date, the Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamp has raised more than $87.8 million dollars for research.
Funds raised in connection with the Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamp are transferred to the National Institutes of Health (70%) and to the medical research program of the Department of Defense (30%).
