To Celebrate Life TM Grants Support Organizations Providing Direct Patient Services Throughout Bay Area Counties
Fundraising efforts throughout the year are conducted with one goal in mind – awarding grants to nonprofit organizations that provide direct and emergency services to people facing breast cancer.
The 2023 Grants Program focused on direct services, with emphasis on emergency financial assistance, diagnostic testing, patient navigational assistance and support groups. These services provide comfort to breast cancer patients through all phases of their breast cancer journey.
