It is with a heavy heart that I have to share our loss of one of our biggest champions for our WBF mission, Rosemary Quade. First and foremost, she was my great friend, a fabulous mom and commited wife! But in addition, she worked passionately to help raise money for young adults we service. She was true to herself to her last breath, worried about others and fought ferociously until finally breast cancer won and the lord came to bring her home. But before she left us here, she helped create The Pink Hearts of Hope division of our foundation to recognize and support the unique issues younger women have when they journey through a breast cancer battle. We will have our 2nd Pink Hearts of Hope Dinner Dance on Valentine's 2011 (TBA)! Blue Ridge School- Donates Funds for WBLC Uniforms!
