Breast Cancer Awareness Month | Vol. 4

Hello Friends!

It's hard to believe that we have just one week to go 'til the end of the month! What is NOT had to believe is that we still have a lot of events and fundraisers ahead, thanks to our amazingly dedicated supporters.

We'll be at a wide range of events, including the San Jose Firefighter Stickball Tournament, a Santana Row Kendra Scott Shop & Sip fundraiser, University at Santa Clara Women's Broncos Volleyball and Soccer games, a rummage sale at F.H. Dailey Chevrolet, and at our outreach table at Stonestown Galleria. And, of course, Brownies for Breast Cancer sales will continue through the month at multiple Bay Area locations and it's the final weekend for The Four Season's Silicon Valley Pinktober Tea.

Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for event updates and, if you can't join us but would like to support our patients, click our "DONATE" button above or click HERE. Either option will take you to our secure PayPal account and your gift will benefit our assistance programs which provide under-served breast cancer patients with post-surgical products that help them heal physically and emotionally.

With gratitude,

Tina
