The 11th Annual Foundation Golf Outing was nothing short of AMAZING! ❤️

The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was special, and the good vibes were everywhere. We are truly blessed to have such an incredible following and support system behind . The Team Karen family is something special—something that is sometimes hard to put into words.

What started 11 years ago with a group of close friends and family rallying behind a woman named Karen who was facing breast cancer and fighting for her life has grown into something far bigger than we ever could have imagined.

The goal was simple: help Karen and her family financially, give them hope and inspiration, and remind them to keep fighting and to live every day by Karen’s favorite message:

“It’s a beautiful day to be alive.” ❤️

Today, that same spirit has turned into 11 years of helping more than 75 women and their families who are facing battles similar to Karen’s. Through Grants, we continue our mission to provide hope, happiness and financial support to those fighting breast cancer.

Yesterday, at our 11th Annual Golf Outing, we had the incredible honor of awarding a grant to Jessica, a breast cancer warrior who bravely shared her inspiring story in front of more than 200 supporters.

Jessica, thank you for having the courage to share your story with us. Your strength, courage and positivity moved everyone in that room. Please know that has your back! ❤️

To every volunteer, hole sponsor, golfer, attendee, friend and family member who helped make yesterday so special—THANK YOU. This day would not be possible without every single one of you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in , believing in our mission, and continuing to keep Karen’s spirit and message alive.

11 years. 75+ women helped. Countless memories made. And so many more lives to touch.

“It’s a beautiful day to be alive.”
~ Karen Carlquist ❤️

The Team Karen Foundation relies on the generosity and support of our community to help us fulfill our mission, and we want to take a moment to recognize two organizations whose support made a huge impact this past year.

Last November, SPENGA Bloomingdale hosted the 4th Annual Team Karen Relay Ride, which raised more money than any of the previous rides. Thanks to their incredible team and all of the riders who participated, this fundraiser enabled us to award Team Karen grants to six deserving women.

We also want to thank the Bloomingdale Police Department, who generously donated the proceeds from their annual October fundraiser to the Team Karen Foundation. These proceeds helped support our October grant recipients.

We are incredibly grateful for partners like these who help us continue our mission and support women in our community. 🩷
