I have been volunteering for different breast cancer charities for the last 5 years. I found BCFCF through a charity I was volunteering for that was closing its doors. This charity is amazing, the director Ashley, is amazing, and all the volunteers that I have met are great. Their compassion is amazing. I love what they stand for and look forward to continuing to volunteer for them for years to come.

I knew that the BCFCF existed just from working in healthcare, but I didn’t realize how deeply they were involved in the local community until I met Ashley at a run club event. Ironically, I was a breast cancer patient preparing for surgery, and she was promoting a 5k fundraiser. Our conversation opened my eyes to the invaluable support BCFCF provides to patients and families right here at home. Since then, Ashley has checked in on me weekly, offering help while managing her own challenges. BCFCF will forever be an organization I support and promote.

Ashley and the BCFCF community have been my lifeline. The love and encouragement I’ve received keep me going.

BCFCF paid my utility bills in full for four months. That alone was a big help. Paying that one bill gave us a little breathing room to figure things out. It was one less stressor so I could focus on healing.

BCFCF is a community that truly cares and changes lives. I kept to myself during surgery and treatment, but now I’ve met so many people who have become close friends—like family—through the foundation. It makes me happy to give back and help our community fight breast cancer.

Even though I didn’t receive financial assistance [from BCFCF], I felt emotionally supported. That mattered.

I’m grateful for BCFCF because of all it does for women who have walked the same path as I did. The support and love it brings to the community is truly heartwarming, and I’m honored to give back to such an amazing foundation.

It’s powerful to know there’s a local foundation rallying behind women going through this. That means something.

When I met Ashley at Jeepin’ for the Cure, I didn’t realize how important she’d become to me. After my diagnosis, she connected me with a community of people who truly understood. They made me feel less alone.

Besides financial support, they give hope. I remember the first gala I worked at—they asked survivors to stand, and I looked around and thought, ‘Look at all of us.’ We are here. A testament that you can survive.
