We celebrated our 15th Anniversary at the November 11, 2017 BreastFEST! Take a look at some of the amazing community organizations we’ve had the pleasure to work with over the years. Remember to support them so we can keep the Money Local and serve our Ventura County community members affected by breast cancer!
We Make a Difference is dedicated to all our community neighbors who believe in and support the Ribbons of Life Breast Cancer Foundation Mission and Vision by handling fundraising activities. They are sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, children, friends and acquaintances who have all, in one way or another, been touched by breast cancer.
