Join us for People with Purpose on April 27, 2024!

Our 15th Annual People with Purpose Gala is returning to Castlewood Country Club!

Our spring gala took place on April 8, 2023, and was an evening of impact, joy, and fun. We celebrated our HERS Award winners and enjoyed cocktails, dinner, fundraising games, and silent and live auction. Thanks to our generous sponsors and donors, we raised nearly $150,000 — funds that, since the gala, have provided scores of under-served breast cancer patients with post-surgical products and compassionate service.

Looking ahead, our 15th Annual People with Purpose Gala will return to the beautifully remodeled Castlewood Country Club on Saturday, April 27, 2024. HERS will announce its Hope, Empowerment, Renewal, and Support honorees in January 2024.

In the meantime, please join us in thanking our 2023 sponsors and in-kind donors as listed below. Their dedication to our patients and mission sustains HERS; we encourage you to consider finding out more about their work and, in turn, supporting them with your business. This “circle of support” is one way we ensure sustainability for all.
