Thank you to everyone who joined us at our Spirit Awards Brunch on Sunday, April 19 at The Briarcliff Manor in Briarcliff Manor, NY. It was truly “an elegant affair to celebrate those who care“.

The proceeds raised from the Spirit Awards Brunch will help fund our free and confidential breast, ovarian, and other gynecological cancer support services and programs.

None of this would be possible without the help of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers. THANK YOU!

Special thanks to The Briarcliff Manor for their beautiful venue and courteous staff and the amazingly talented Riverton Quartet.

A highlight of the Day was the presentation of our Annual Spirit Awards to the following honorees:

Lisa Olmos – The Andrea Karl Amazing Grace Award
Marcie Kaplan – The Maria Rubino Jennings Spirit of Caring Award
Ilene Cohen – The Dolly and Mike Acocella Spirit of Giving Award
Elisabeth Tyler de Vries & Diane Usen – The Julie Haney Spirit of Hope Award
