Breast Cancer Awareness month always brings out so much beauty within the community!! We received an incredible, unexpected donation in the amount of $5,000 from one of our amazing local supporters who used her TikTok platform, to bring
awareness, raise funds and share her light! We are so grateful we had the opportunity to receive this donation live, on her channel, so her followers could see their donations going directly to the cause!! Thank you so much, Katie and Bull Nation, for everything you did to help us continue our mission!! You’re amazing!

Secret Sauce Soiree at Carmines, New York City was nothing short of amazing! I’m so proud of my friend Homemade by Bruno and her strength in the face of incredible adversity…watching her survive and thrive through breast cancer has been awesome to witness! Her passion is contagious and the growth she’s experienced with her business is an inspiration!

To have the honor as the foundation of her choice and to benefit from the collaboration and fundraising initiative of Carmine’s is so humbling. They will be donating up to $10,000 to my organization, Mama Mare Breast Cancer Foundation, through the sales of the roasted tomato cavatelli dish…which by the way, is to die for!! (pictured below)

We met incredibly kind people, from the owner & CEO of Carmines to their marketing team and staff, lots of food content influencers, some Italian American celebs and some of my favorite foundation supporters💞 My heart is full and I hope if you have an opportunity to dine at Carmines in October (at any of their locations), you’ll do it!

“Thank you so much for this opportunity it was truly amazing for all of us“

You may remember our 2023 Christmas Miracle Dream Trip Recipients…Peter, Samantha and their girls. They just returned home from a week in Disney and we are so thrilled that Samantha is doing so well and that their time away was full of memory making magic!

Another moment for me to thank our incredible donors who continue to support us and allow us to provide families battling breast cancer, with these wonderful and deserving experiences!! We are so grateful! 💕

Last night, board member Tricia Rutherford, who is also the sister of the late Jill Lecorchick, presented a Monroe Twp. High school senior with the Jillybean Scholarship Award on behalf of Mama Mare Breast Cancer Foundation.

Thanks to all the support that various school districts show us through the year with their pink outs and various fundraising efforts, we are able to pour back into student’s lives, who have been effected by breast cancer.

We are wishing this well deserving senior, all the best as he embarks on the next chapter of his promising future!!!
