Our Mission

About the Retreat

Why Donate?

We charge a $100 registration fee per participant to attend the retreat. It costs us much more than that, however, we do not turn anyone away that cannot afford the registration fee. Your donation will help us continue to reach more women who are in need. We depend on the generous support of donors who are passionate about helping others. We are grateful to have a great group of donors and supporters who graciously help us continue our mission of empowering women cancer survivors to live their best life possible. It is a tax deductible donation as well.
