How do you explain the impact of a community coming together for a cause as personal as breast cancer?

Volunteers for Serve Up a Cure have never had breast cancer themselves, but they show up year after year to support events, recruit new people, and raise money for The Rose.

• You might hear from someone whose mother battled breast cancer.
• Or meet a volunteer making sure more people learn about a life-saving resource.
• You could be the person who helps just one more friend get connected.
