Donna, there appear to be scattered, localized programs for women under 35 obtaining free mammograms. But I don't find anything national. I'd start with your local hospital or cancer center, ask them if they can help. If not, call Komen for the Cure's hotline - they're the biggest outreach group we have, and if anyone would know about this service, they should. 1-877-465-6636 (1-877-GO-KOMEN). Good luck - PJH
