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
Executive
Director
