Breast Cancer Patient Fundraisers Around the Bay
Join HERS Breast Cancer Foundation at Fundraisers Hosted by HERS Heroes!
HERS Breast Cancer Foundation community partners are going above and beyond this month, hosting a wide range of fundraisers that will benefit the nonprofit's under-served breast cancer patients. Generous supporters of the Foundation-- "HERS Heroes" -- are individuals and organizations that put their heart, enthusiasm, energy, and resources into projects that raise funds in fun and creative ways.
2024 fundraising events will appeal to a just about every taste and interest, including stickball, softball, and golf tournaments, volleyball and soccer games, breast cancer awareness t-shirt sales, a hairstylist's fundraiser, Jazzercise and Zumba clases, Chik-fil-A brownie sales, and much more.
Several of these opportunities are ongoing throughout October while others are single or multi-day events. HERS staff and volunteers will be on site at many of these events, and they encourage you to join them! In so doing you'll have an engaging and fun-filled October while supporting the nonprofit's Assistance Programs that ensure our low income, under-insured, and uninsured patients have access to post-surgical products and services!
