MARQUETTE -- Marquette residents looking to rent a movie this weekend will also have a chance to fight breast cancer.

On Friday, Family Video will sell calendars to raise money for the cause.  The calendars feature men and women who have battled cancer and their stories.
    
Proceeds from the sales will help raise $155,000 for a new breast biopsy machine for Marquette General.
    
Family Video says Friday evenings are a very busy time, so it seemed like the perfect way to help a good cause.

"I like to help in any way we can, and this is an easy way for me and my company to do is make ourselves available for people to hold their event here so that we can raise a lot of money," said Family Video Store Manager, Barbara Lynaugh.

The calendars will be on sale this Friday from 4 to 9 p.m.
