The Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation was established in 2004 in memory of Gloria Gemma and in honor of her courageous fight against breast cancer.  Our mission is to raise breast cancer awareness, increase breast health education, and generate funding for critical breast health programs that are in desperate need of being brought to fruition.  Our promise is that 100% of the net proceeds will remain right here in our local community.  We recognize breast self examination as a critical tool in the fight against breast cancer.  We also recognize all of the breast health care providers as essential partners in the war against this disease.   The simple facts are that one in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and one women dies from this disease every 12 minutes in the U.S.  Did you know that men can get breast cancer too?  Over 2,000 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and over 450 men die from this disease.  In the short time it takes you to read this page, one woman will have died from breast cancer.   

The net proceeds from programs such as this CMarket® Auction and other fundraising events allows us to help fund the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Center and also provides women and men the necessary programs and support they need in order to cope with this horrific disease.  To learn more about our programs and services, please visit www.gloriagemma.org.
