Make an Impact Today
The Foothills Women’s Society Community Breast Cancer Fund exists to provide timely, compassionate, and practical support to individuals in our local community who are impacted by breast cancer. This fund is a collective pool of locally stewarded resources, created by a community who believe no one should face the financial and emotional burden of breast cancer alone- especially here at home.
Why This Fund Matters
A breast cancer diagnosis brings not only physical challenges, but also unexpected financial strain - travel to treatment, missed work, childcare needs, medical supplies, and everyday expenses that do not pause during illness.
Our Community Breast Cancer Fund is designed to step in quickly and thoughtfully, meeting real needs at real moments.
How the Fund Works
Foothills Women’s Society works directly with Cancer Patient Nurse Navigators in our community- trusted professionals who walk alongside patients throughout their cancer journey. By partnering with these navigators, we are able to:
Identify individuals and families who need assistance
Ensure funds are distributed responsibly and discreetly
Remove barriers and red tape so help is hassle-free and timely
Keep resources local, supporting neighbors within our own community
This approach ensures that support reaches those who need it most- without added stress during an already difficult season.
Our Commitment to Stewardship
The Community Breast Cancer Fund is overseen by Foothills Women’s Society with a deep commitment to:
Transparency in how funds are managed
Dignity for every individual receiving support
Partnership with healthcare professionals
Local Impact that stays rooted in our community
Every dollar given is stewarded with care, compassion, and accountability.
“Sisterhood
is powerful.”
