Dear Friend:
First and foremost, thank
you for your interest in the 2008 Women’s Soccer Spring Fling event. The Event
has raised over $11,000
over the past two years and it’s grow! This year’s
event will benefit the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer.
This is their
story:
“The
Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer was founded in 1998 after a very dear
friend lost her courageous battle with this disease. We are focused on
directly
providing financial support to the critical research needed to understand and
eradicate breast cancer. The Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer is
committed to eradicating breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by
providing financial support for research and research-related projects. Nearly
$6 million
has been raised since we began our efforts. We've completed two major
endowments to the IU School of Medicine to support the
Vera Bradley Chair in Oncology
and to
establish the Vera Bradley Center for Breast Cancer Research.”
