Breast Cancer Awareness Event
Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women worldwide. Early detection and treatment significantly improve survival rates. Silicon Valley Central Chamber of Commerce has a long-standing commitment to community well-being. Breast cancer is a prevalent health issue, and by hosting this event, the chamber aims to:
- Empower women
- Support local organizations
- Foster a sense of community
Heidi Garland is a breast cancer and multiple cancer survivor and advocate for the American Cancer Society. She is a fundraiser who works to increase awareness and fund cutting-edge research. She is a wife and mother of two sons and one daughter-in-law. She owns Guild West Agency, a digital marketing firm. Heidi epitomizes the survivor movement because, despite her many cancers and surgeries, starting with a double mastectomy in 2008, she has kept on fighting while volunteering for the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
