A Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Fundraiser

  

Hats for Hope is a silent auction of new and gently worn Derby hats and other donated services and merchandise. This year's auction was held on Thursday, April 3, 2008 in Louisville, KY. The event is hosted by volunteers associated with KFC/Yum! Brands, Inc. and UFPC, and all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society to support Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Over the past 5 years, Hats for Hope has generated almost $160,000 for the American Cancer Society to use for breast cancer research. Breast cancer is a pervasive disease that strikes without warning. A woman has a 1 in 8 chance of being diagnosed with this disease in her lifetime. Most people know someone close – a mother, sister, daughter, or friend – who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. And it not only affects the woman, it also has a profound effect on her family.
