14th Annual Breast of Friends Dinner & Gala
As the team’s largest fundraiser, this annual event brings together nearly 400 supporters and community members. All proceeds from the gala benefit our many breast cancer support initiatives and activities, including “Boatloads of Hope” — our community outreach program for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.
Deepest appreciation for the generous support of our sponsors for this year’s event.
