The Placer Breast Cancer Foundation was formed in 2005 by breast cancer survivors Carol Garcia, Vice President at First Northern Bank, and Teri Munger, Program Manager at American River College. The Endowment was formed with the goal of raising 1.5 million dollars to fully fund an endowed chair at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center in order to assist with breast cancer research, education, and treatment. Since the Chair has now been funded, we are looking to fund additional research needs at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center as well as to develop educational and outreach programs in the Placer area. Since 2005, the Foundation has grown to over 120 active participants with community volunteers, board members and community activists working to further the goal of the Foundation. Funds for the Foundation are raised through signature events such as the Hot Pink Fun Run and by generous donations from local community events held in our area. Along with individual donations and community driven private fundraisers, these signature events have allowed the Foundation to endow a Chair and begin to work on education such as our Placer Women's Retreat and our High School education program and future research opportunities.
Breast cancer survivors Carol Garcia and Teri Munger formed the Placer Breast Cancer Endowment in 2005 with a goal to raise $1.5 million to endow a Breast Cancer Chair at the U.C. Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. After reaching their goal in 2014, the Endowment became the Placer Breast Cancer Foundation to continue the fight against breast cancer through ongoing education, outreach and raising research funds.
