HERS Breast Cancer Foundation
December 2022 Newsletter
Dear Friend,

We have had a busy month at HERS, sharing the joy of the season and, of course, continuing to serve our dear patients!

Our wonderful volunteers welcomed visitors to Crippsmas Place earlier this month, braving the cold and rain to be sure that this annual holiday fundraiser is successful. Crippsmas Place will be open nightly from 6-10 pm through December 31st. If you haven't yet visited, please be sure to go; it's a wonderful way to create warm holiday memories with friends and family.

To find out more, visit the Crippsmas Place website.

Our annual holiday letter was delivered to mailboxes far and wide earlier this month. It includes a year-end fundraising appeal and we ask that you consider making a donation in support of our assistance programs.

We are busier than ever before, serving patients who are facing breast cancer surgery. Our products and services help their physical and emotional healing. Your donation will help HERS remain "a soft place to fall" for months to come.

Donations may be made securely online via our PayPal account or mail your donation to:

HERS Breast Cancer Foundation
2500 Mowry Avenue, Suite 130
Fremont, CA 94538

You may read our letter here -- it's a heartwarming look back at the past year and we've included some lovely photos, too! And we've shared a peak ahead at 2023, including how we'll recognize a MAJOR milestone for HERS -- our 25th Anniversary!

From our family to yours, we wish you a happy holiday season and a peaceful, healthy new year!

With gratitude,

Tina and the HERS Team
