1998, the Foundation has held annual fall golf tournaments and annual Spring
Galas. With monies raised through these events, the Foundation has been
able to donate to the following:

Breast Cancer Patient Support Programs
at Brigham and Women's Hospital and UMass Memorial Medical Center
- a substantial commitment has been made to these programs which
are dedicated to assisting women with breast cancer who have insufficient
income and/or inadequate health insurance coverage by providing
grants to support services, needs during treatments, prescriptions
and follow-up therapy. These support programs are provided to breast
cancer patients across Massachusetts regardless of treatment facilities.
