New for this event, you can support Riley’s Smile Foundation from your couch, because regularly priced purchases made on the stores’ websites will count for the fundraiser too! Simply use the code word “DBCC” in the notes at checkout. Blooming Boutique, open year-round, recently celebrated 14 years in business and specializes in women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. This eclectic boutique is dedicated to making of all
shapes and sizes women look and feel their best with head-to-toe fashion. Unfortunately, 2020 has proven to be a difficult year for this and many other local groups working to better our community. Now fundraising is more important than ever!
The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, Inc. (DBCC) began in 1991 as a small group of community volunteers, led by Maureen Lauterbach, who was committed to decreasing the mortality rate of breast cancer in Delaware. In 1997, DBCC became a non-profit organization serving to raise awareness of breast health issues in Delaware through outreach, education, and support to help facilitate early detection and treatment of breast cancer. The vision of the agency is to create a community where every person diagnosed with breast cancer becomes a survivor, and fear and doubt are replaced with knowledge and hope. The DBCC also supports the National Breast Cancer Coalition’s advocacy efforts to end breast cancer.
In 2004, DBCC partnered with the State of Delaware to manage the Women’s Mobile Health Screening Van program to provide outreach and screening mammography services. At the end of 2018, the program transitioned from the Women’s Mobile Health Screening Van program to the Women’s Health Screening program. The new program focuses on navigating patients to freestanding screening facilities across the state of Delaware.
Today, DBCC remains the only organization in the State of Delaware focused solely on breast health issues as they affect the women and men who live here. DBCC also is proud to serve our neighbors in the surrounding communities in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey.
