LAGRANGEVILLE – Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation and Cornerstone Family Healthcare are proud to invite members of the business and nonprofit communities to a special event to ‘Kickoff October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month!’ and raise awareness about local breast cancer programs benefiting Hudson Valley patients and their families.

All attendees will receive a Pink Pack Toolkit with items and ideas to recognize/celebrate October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The community is invited to a complimentary breakfast while learning about the missions of the host organizations and how their support can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer in Orange County. The event will also feature insights into how Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation and Cornerstone Family Healthcare are working together to provide essential services and resources.

“For the past 20 years, Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation has given away over $3.4 million to people affected by breast cancer in our Hudson Valley,” said Pari Forood, Executive Director, Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation. “We are committed to making a positive impact in Orange County where we have donated over $600,000.”

Ms. Forood continued: “For 20 years, we have funded programs which directly help people with breast cancer: provide financial assistance while they are in treatment; fund a Peer-to-Peer Hotline staffed by trained breast cancer survivors (800-532-4290), award scholarships to students whose lives have been affected by breast cancer and create a stronger community for everyone.”
