The U.S. Postal Service has been supporting breast cancer research since 1998, raising more than $90 million.

“Horseheads is a small town with a big heart,” said Sue Cipoletti, Retail Clerk at the Horseheads Post Office.

Post offices across the country tried to sell as many breast cancer stamps as possible in October.

“It was a lot of fun, and they were just as enthusiastic on the 31st of the month as they were the 1st of the month,” said Daniel Lewis, Acting Postmaster.

The Horseheads office sold more than $10,000 in stamps--the highest in western New York, with $2 from every sheet benefiting research.

“We were shocked we sold every last stamp in the office,” said Cipoletti.

 “If we can help one person, they can find a cure, we can beat this, that’s what it’s about,” said Cipoletti.

Sue Cipoletti’s sales got her the title of biggest seller in western new york, selling more than sixty eight hundred hundred dollars in stamps. And, she’s the 40th best seller, nationwide. She credits her high numbers, to customers.

“Without the customers behind the stamps we couldn’t sell anything,” said Cipoletti.

Hearing their experiences pushed her to keep going.

“It’s the many stories that we hear each day as we’re selling the stamps. The men that come in and they say you know I have breast cancer. And that’s just a somber feeling when a man comes in and tells you that,” said Cipoletti.

Sue is ready for another year of selling stamps, and making a difference. Money raised from the stamps go to the National Institutes of Health and the Medical Research Program at the Department of Defense.
