THANK YOU!!!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your support of the 2022 Women of Action Luncheon. It was a day filled with motivation, inspiration and hope, and we are so honored and humbled by your presence.

Your generosity helped us to raise over $285,000 which will fund essential cancer research and bring us closer to finding a cure.

A special thank you to our incredible honorees, Anzie Stein, Catherine Melling, and Dr.Sara Soldera for their inspiring stories, and our keynote speaker, Hayley Arceneaux.

Let's remember to keep saying yes, to keep dreaming big, and that even the impossible becomes possible when we all work together!
