We loved being part of the National Consortium of Breast Centers Conference in Cleveland! ✨

From connecting with healthcare professionals, patient advocates and partners, to hearing conversations at the Survivors & Advocates Summit, it was an inspiring few days. We’re especially proud of our very own Keeshia Jones for sharing her voice on panels about Hope & Healing: Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer and The Power of Connection: How Support Groups Enhance the Breast Cancer Journey.

Take a look back at some moments from the conference. 📸

💜 What a time we had on Friday! 💜

A Night Out for ABCD brought together a sold-out crowd of 300+ supporters for an evening filled with connection and purpose. We're proud to share we surpassed our goal and raised more than $155,000 to support our free emotional support services!

There were many meaningful moments, including:
✨ hearing the powerful story of Mentor Beth Gramz and Participant Megan Adams, young moms who were matched by ABCD based on their similar diagnosis
✨ honoring Versiti with the Power of One-to-One Award and hearing the heartfelt remarks shared by Gretchen Jameson, EdD, a two-time breast cancer survivor and Versiti’s EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, who accepted the award
✨ having 30 Mentors in the room with us, who've supported more than 400 people across the country
✨ enjoying a dueling pianos performance that had the whole room singing and dancing to 80s hits until the very last note was played

To our sponsors, event committee, and everyone who joined us, thank you for making A Night Out for ABCD truly unforgettable!

We want to take a moment to recognize our ABCD Mentors this week during National Volunteer Week.

ABCD Mentors are the heart of our organization. They volunteer their time to show up for Participants by sharing their stories and lived experience, offering compassion and understanding to others like them who are impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis.

In 2025 alone, 4,865+ hours were donated by ABCD Mentors - that’s an incredible increase of 43% from 2024 when 3,395+ hours were donated. With a community of 316 Mentors, ABCD is able to provide meaningful one-to-one support that nurtures hope and restores confidence.

In doing so, they help create space for people to feel heard, understood, and less alone.

We are deeply grateful for each and every Mentor - the time they give, their compassion, and their commitment. 💜

We’re so grateful to our friends at Monroe Cheesemaker Softball for supporting ABCD through their Varsity Softball Tournament and fundraiser this Saturday, April 25. The money they raise will help us provide our free emotional support services to even more people impacted by breast cancer.

If you’re in the area of Monroe, WI, stop by Twining Park on Saturday to cheer them on and support a great cause. We’re honored to be part of such a meaningful day. Go Cheesemakers! 💜⚾

When Megan was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024, she felt isolated and overwhelmed. After calling ABCD, she was matched with Beth, a fellow young mom with a similar diagnosis. Through shared stories and reassurance, Beth helped Megan feel truly heard and understood.

This is the power of one-to-one connection. 🤝 It’s what ABCD creates every day for people navigating breast cancer, and the need continues to grow. In 2025 alone, record numbers reached out for support that’s made possible by our compassionate Mentor community.

Megan and Beth’s story is at the heart of everything ABCD does. We’re honored that both Megan and Beth will be with us at A Night Out for ABCD on Friday, April 24 as we share their unique story and celebrate how connection changes lives. 💕
