"I wanted to give back to CBF because I am a cancer survivor myself and know what it means to have support, especially from women."
Lauren Tran is the owner of Modern Nails & Jolie Boutique Salon and a newer supporter of CBF. Her involvement began when she was approached by a CBF Board Member who was soliciting sponsors for our Pink Boots on the Lawn event in the fall of 2021.
"I wanted to give back to CBF because I am a cancer survivor myself and know what it means to have support, especially from women."
Her involvement through sponsorship planted a seed in Lauren for other ways to give back to CBF. In January, she hosted a Women Empowerment evening at her nail salon, which served as a social gathering for women to support women in business. In lieu of a purchasing a ticket, Lauren requested that attendees donate $5 to CBF. In addition, she procured items for a small silent auction with all proceeds going to CBF. In the end, she raised over $2,000.
"I want to give back to the community and spread [breast cancer] awareness. I am very grateful to be around such a wonderful community and strong women who are fighters."
