PARTNERS MAKE IT HAPPEN
Nonprofit organizations rely on partnerships of all types to accomplish their goals. To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation is no exception. Our partnership with major sponsors is critical to the success of our fundraising efforts.
 
Tee It Up is only days away, and our major sponsors, Jackson's, Julie Kertzman, Wine, Women & Song, Marin Acura and Macys.com are helping the Foundation provide an exciting and fun day of golf, food, and fundraising on June 21st.

Major sponsor partnerships are forming to help make the September 25th Stepping Out event - An Evening in Paris - a huge success. It's not too late to join our 2010 Stepping Out partners - Mentor Corp, Frank and Lois Noonan, Price Family Dealerships, Wells Fargo, Autodesk, Jeanne and Adolph Capurro, Gail Stern, Gruber Family Foundation and California Cancer Care - and be part of this popular fundraising gala.
 
Thank you to all our sponsor partners!

"Cuts to a California program that provides mammograms to low-income and uninsured patients have affected more women than the state expected. Health officials had said the cuts enacted in January were intended to reduce the number of mammogram recipients by about 17 percent, to about 21,600 a month. The state reported this week that the program averaged less than 10,000 patients a month for the first three months of 2010." Read the full article
