The Vail Breast Cancer Awareness Group strives to ease the financial and emotional burdens endured by those women in Eagle County who are battling breast cancer.

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.
