About
Us
| |
Since 1994, The Vail Breast Cancer Awareness |
| Group has played a critical role in bringing support to those diagnosed with breast cancer in Eagle County. And we are dedicated to making their journey as easy as possible. |

Thanks to our premier event, the Celebration of |
| Life Luncheon™, we have raised over a half-million dollars to fulfill our vision to fund those who fight this disease each day. Approximately 200 women have received Day to Play™ funds and another 25 have received more than $2,000 in assistance. We donated $75,000 to the Sonnenalp Breast Diagnostic Imaging Center within the Shaw Regional Cancer Center and another $50,000 to Jack’s Place, a facility adjacent to the cancer center that provides patient accommodations. |

| |
Additionally, every Eagle County resident who |
| is diagnosed with breast cancer – no matter what her echelon – receives $500 to relieve the stress of cancer treatment. Some have used the funds to throw a party or to spend a day at the spa; others have put it towards day care or to pay a medical bill. Our hearts are warmed by the many notes of appreciation that we have received over the years for this gesture. |
