Founded in 1994, the Central PA Womyn’s Chorus “brings together a diverse group of women, united by the joy of singing, to celebrate and empower women and to affirm a positive image of lesbians and feminists.” This event program is from the Central PA Womyn's Chorus' spring 2002 concert "Singing for Our Lives!," held at Harrisburg Unitarian Church on April 27 and York Unitarian Church on May 4 in honor of women and families impacted by breast cancer. The concert featured the Central PA debut performance of "Where I Live," a breast cancer oratorio by Diane Benjamin. The concert benefited the PA Breast Cancer Coalition and the Mautner Project, an organization which supports lesbians battling cancer. A reception after the concert featured "Words & Images of Healing," a display from the Expressive Arts Center in Mechanicsburg featuring artwork from nine women impacted by cancer.
