Dear :

October was a whirlwind of awareness-raising and fundraising activity for DBCC, thanks to the outpouring of support from people throughout the state. We're grateful for our wonderful network of survivors, volunteers, advocates and partners who made our events during Breast Cancer Awareness Month so successful.

As you know, though, raising awareness in the fight against breast cancer doesn't end as we turn the calendar page. Women and men continue to be affected by and diagnosed with breast cancer every day of every month, throughout the year.
 
That's why, as we head into November, we ask for your continued support and your help in spreading the word about Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition and these upcoming events.

See you soon!
 
Sincerely,

Victoria Cooke
