" We are proud to be a partner to CBF. The special meaning of the work CBF does and the number of lives that they’ve touched is astonishing."
- Debbie Miller, Bosom Buddies Benefit Organization
The Bosom Buddies Benefit Organization (BBBO) has been actively raising funds for breast cancer awareness, research, and education since its establishment in 2005. Run entirely by volunteers, BBBO organizes fundraising events of tennis and pickleball tournaments throughout the Charlotte area.
Carolina Breast Friends was fortunate to be a recipient of BBBO’s philanthropy this year through a donation of $25,000. We could not be more grateful.
Debbie Miller, who serves as both a BBBO board member and the site coordinator for their event at Weddington Swim & Racquet Club, recalls her initial visit to CBF's headquarters at The Pink House, saying “The moment I walked into The Pink House I was in awe… The special meaning of the work CBF does and the number of lives that they’ve touched is astonishing." She continues, "I knew in my heart that a BBBO donation could help CBF continue to make a difference."
And it has. We have used BBBO’s generous donation to mount enhanced programming that goes beyond our regular learning, wellness and support sessions. Earlier this year, we delivered a Mentor Summit to enrich the knowledge and peer-support skills of the women in our powerful One-on-One Mentoring Program. In May, we held our first off-site day retreat: the EmpowHER Retreat for Young Survivors & Thrivers (See Mission Moment: EmpowHER Day Retreat). And there’s more to come!
Shares Debbie, “I am so happy that our donated funds are going to provide support to local breast cancer Survivors and Thrivers, regardless of their economic status.
