For Marilyn S. Broad, breast cancer became part of her story, but it never defined her. A passionate philanthropist, advocate, and believer in the power of opportunity, Marilyn lived life to its fullest. Through her own experience with cancer, she recognized how access to healthcare can be life-changing and made it one of the core pillars of the foundation she created.
Marilyn`s vision extended far beyond her lifetime. She hoped to inspire her family to embrace the joy of giving, create opportunities for others, and continue a legacy of compassion for generations to come.
Today, we honor Marilyn`s memory by carrying forward her mission to support education, healthcare, and those facing poverty. Her life reminds us that true legacy is not measured by what we leave behind, but by the lives we touch along the way. 💗

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀
This month, we honor the memory of Marilyn, the woman our foundation is proudly named after. After losing her battle with breast cancer in 2002, Marilyn`s passion for philanthropy and helping others became the inspiration for a lasting legacy that continues through her family and foundation today.
Breast cancer is more than a diagnosis. For many families, access to information, screenings, and financial resources can mean the difference between life and death. No one should have to choose between caring for their family and caring for their health.
By continuing Marilyn`s mission, we remain committed to supporting those in need, raising awareness, and helping create a future where every individual has access to potentially life-saving care.
💗 Join us this October as we honor Marilyn`s legacy and support the fight against breast cancer.
