Help Us Support Women Facing Breast Cancer: The Jackie Furby Legacy Award

Our goal is to raise $5,000 to provide vital financial support to women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. With your donation, we aim to give ten women a $500 grant each, helping to ease their financial burden during a difficult time. Your contribution will honor Jackie Furby's legacy by making a meaningful difference in the lives of women facing breast cancer. Together, we can provide hope, support, and a little relief when it’s needed most.

Jackie Furby Legacy Award Help Women of Color Breast Cancer Survivors' Support Project reach their goal by donating or sharing with your friends.

🌸✨ What an inspiring Saturday! Today, we gathered at the Yvonne Burke Center in Los Angeles for our Women of Color Breast Cancer Survivor Support Project. We were honored to have guest speaker Lily Padilla, who shared invaluable insights on healthy foods to incorporate into our diets as cancer patients and survivors. 🥗🥤

From delicious salads to refreshing smoothies, we not only learned but also got to taste some amazing recipes together! The atmosphere was filled with joy, laughter, and a sense of community. 💖 Thank you to everyone who joined us for this empowering event! Here’s to health, support, and sisterhood! 💪🏾🌼
