HUNTINGTON STATION, N.Y., April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- United Breast Cancer
Foundation (UBCF) is thrilled to share the resounding success of
its Spring Pink Bag Event, held March 23rd
through 27th, 2024, at their Huntington Station headquarters. Marking the
long-awaited return of the in-person event since the pandemic
began, UBCF welcomed 116 breast cancer patients and survivors for a
celebration of hope, empowerment, community and goodies!
"Many thanks to everyone who worked the
Huntington Pink Bag Event," expressed attendee Doreen C. "I had a
fun day "shopping" for goodies & taking my mind off of my
treatments...I will never forget the love & generosity of the
United Breast Cancer Foundation & how special you all made me
feel."
"It takes many weeks to months of pre-planning to set up an
event of this magnitude," shared Lauren
DelGandio, UBCF's Program Administrator. "The heartfelt
messages from our clients are a powerful reminder of why we
dedicate ourselves to events like this. It reinforces UBCF's
mission: to make a positive difference in the lives of those
affected by breast cancer. This is what we strive for, one client
at a time."
The event offered attendees a unique and uplifting experience.
Each guest received personalized assistance in choosing gifts for
their breast cancer journey from a curated selection valued at
nearly $1,125,000. From cozy clothes
and pampering beauty products to household essentials and even toys
for loved ones, the Pink Bag selections aimed to bring a touch of
comfort and joy to those facing breast cancer.
"Many thanks to everyone who worked the Huntington Pink Bag
Event," expressed attendee Doreen C. "I had a fun day "shopping"
for goodies & taking my mind off of my treatments...I will
never forget the love & generosity of the United Breast Cancer
Foundation & how special you all made me feel." Doreen's words
echo the spirit of the event: a chance to relax, feel cared for,
and forget about challenges for a while.
Attendee Kathleen V. expressed her delight, "I attended this
event and had not smiled so much in a long time. The ladies were
such a joy to work with, made me feel special. I received so many
lovely things; skin care, hair care products, clothing, sneakers,
household items, etc. So many items and surprise gifts! My princess
day. Thank you thank you."
The Spring Pink Bag Event wasn't just about the gifts; it
blossomed human connection and empowerment. UBCF recognizes the
significant emotional impact of a breast cancer diagnosis. This
kind of positive experience can be particularly beneficial for
individuals navigating the challenges of breast cancer.
"I walked out uplifted and in the best mood I've experienced
since I can't remember when," shared attendee Lynda B.
The Pink Bag Event provided not only practical support but also
a boost of encouragement. "Thank you for inviting me to the Pink
Bag Event," remarked Sandra C. "The crew were wonderful and very
generous guiding me through all the wonderful things available to
me as a 'cancer fighter'. Your organization helps me continue my
fight."
The overwhelming success of the Spring Pink Bag Event
underscores UBCF's commitment to supporting those facing breast
cancer. While details are still under wraps, UBCF is excited to
announce there will be additional events later this year. Team UBCF
is gearing up for the next big event in Rhode Island, Saturday,
April 27th. Visit our website, follow us on social media and
