Ongoing Outreach Projects

Inspiration Jars

Jars are filled with inspirational quotes submitted by our members. Each quote includes the members name, date of diagnosis, and email address. Recipients of the jars are encouraged to email members if they wish to discuss their breast cancer journey. Recipients are also encouraged to pass the jar along to other women they meet with breast cancer. The jars are given out to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients through the Breast Health Navigators at Presbyterian Hospital and Carolinas Medical Center. Send an email to Rene Timpone for more information or to volunteer your time.

Comfort Bags

Tote-bags filled with items useful to most breast cancer patients. The bags help newly diagnosed breast cancer patients better cope with chemo-therapy and other issues with treatments. We deliver these to local Oncology practices and through Breast Health Navigators. We're always looking for donations of supplies for our Comfort Bags. For more information, list of items needed for bags, or to volunteer your time, send an email to kalix@earthlink.net to help.
