Our 16th Annual People with Purpose Gala — March 29, 2025

People with Purpose Walk/Run Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Honorees Sponsorship Program Ads Photos
 

We added Western sizzle to our 2025 gala and our guests had a grand ole time for a great cause — the Foundation’s under-served breast cancer patients! Thanks to their generosity, we raised nearly $136,000 — funds that will ensure our underserved patients may access post-surgical products that aid their physical and emotional healing for months to come.

We’re beyond grateful to our generous 2025 sponsors, donors, and volunteers for making this year’s event meaningful and memorable. We’re especially thankful to our emcee and auctioneer, KTVU FOX 2’s Heather Holmes, volunteer photographer and videographer, Ramil Sumalpong, and HERS patient Sheila Amaral for sharing her breast cancer journey with grace and candor.
