🩷 Fighting Together. Supporting One Another. Raising Awareness.

This past Saturday, the Women’s Resource Center was proud to attend “Fight Like a Link!”, a breast cancer awareness and bra collection event hosted by the Bradenton/Sarasota Links in partnership with the American Cancer Society at Dillard’s in UTC Mall.

It was a heartwarming and educational morning filled with connection, encouragement, and empowerment. Dr. Kathy Jenkins shared valuable information about breast health, examinations, and the importance of regular mammograms.

We were especially inspired by the breast cancer survivors in attendance and grateful for the generous donation of bras to support women served by the Women’s Resource Center.

A heartfelt thank-you to The Links, Dillard’s, and everyone who helped make this meaningful event possible! 💗
