"This event will raise awareness about hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Through awareness and education, approximately 1 million people in the United States who carry the BRCA gene mutation can take steps to prevent cancer from continuing to impact future generations. Today, an estimated 90% of those people do not know they carry this gene mutation," said Sandy Cohen, FORCE volunteer. "We want families to pass down recipes, photos and memories to the next generation, not the risk of cancer."

 

We hope to see you there!
