This THANKFUL THURSDAY we give a round of applause to volunteer, Jerry Roberts . An avid runner, Jerry began volunteering in 2008 as a race marshall for our annual walk & run, and since 2018 has served as the Race Director. We are grateful to have his guidance and leadership for our largest fundraiser of the year, the Pink & Teal Challenge (May 10th, 2025 at MCC). THANK YOU JERRY! #ThankfulThursday #BreastCancerCoalition #Volunteer

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, we celebrate the incredible women who have been involved in #research at the Coalition! Since 2003, our Research Initiative has awarded more than $1.1 million to regional researchers who study the cause, prevention, prevention of metastasis, and cure of breast cancer. Our Research Committee includes survivor-advocates who are integral in the research review process. We are proud to fund researchers, many of whom are strong women who passionately work everyday toward eradicating breast cancer. The Coalition is currently seeking Requests for Proposals through March 3 for the 2025-2026 grant season. Learn more at bccr.org/research or email info@bccr.org.
