Welcome

HERS Breast Cancer Foundation strives every day to bring HERS – Hope, Empowerment, Renewal, and Support — to our patients. We do this by offering products and services in a setting that is welcoming and compassionate. Our Program Stores are truly “a soft place to fall.”

Supporting Our Mission

Marcelle’s Story

Marcelle Kozocas is a Fremont resident and is a wife, mother, sister, daughter, advocate, and staff member at HERS Breast Cancer Foundation. She is also a Stage 4 breast cancer survivor and thriver.

Marcelle graciously agreed to be filmed for a patient testimonial which we screened at our May 2, 2026, People with Purpose Gala. Her story is one of resilience, positivity, and determination. We are grateful to count Marcelle as a team member and a friend, and we hope that you, too, are inspired by her positive mindset and “can-do” attitude. In Marcelle’s words, she says “yes all the things” meaning she is pushing herself to try new things and live her best life. Like so many in her loving support system, we can’t wait to see what Marcelle says “yes” to next!

We are beyond grateful for the support of Ramil Sumalpong of iconic-lab.com for making this film possible. A recipient of multiple Emmy awards, Ramil has been an exceedingly generous HERS volunteer who captures our patients, our mission, and our work with his beautiful, inspiring, and impactful images and videos.
