People with Purpose, A Pink Tie Gala

People with Purpose Walk/Run Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Oh, what a night!

Our 2019 People With Purpose gala was held on May 4, 2019, with proceeds benefiting our Charitable Programs. Our heartfelt thanks to our supporters for joining us. We sold out this year and exceeded our fundraising goals (check back soon for more info on how much we raised!).

Thanks to you, HERS continues to be “a soft place to fall” for breast cancer survivors. Our evening was fun and funny, heartfelt and truly heartwarming — a wonderful reminder of our mission and an opportunity to gather to honor loved ones and those who go “above and beyond” in support of our patients.

Be sure to save the date for our next People With Purpose gala: Saturday, May 2, 2020!
