ABOUT US 

OUR MISSION

 

Our mission is to help women who cannot afford to maintain breast health or cope with the expenses

associated with breast cancer.

 

 

HOW OUR FUND BEGAN

 

The breast cancer fund was established in 1992 by members of the St. Elizabeth Breast Cancer Support Group, now known as PALS for LIFE. A year after her breast cancer surgery, Sandy Jepson ran in the New York Marathon and collected $3000 in pledges. She donated the proceeds to establish the fund. PALS for LIFE members continue to raise money through special events to help other women in their fight against breast cancer.
