We all know someone affected by cancer. Jenn McHugh is a woman who not only had cancer but conquered it and has since been on a mission to raise funds to help Delaware’s fight against breast cancer. A three-time cancer survivor herself, she, along with family and friends, is hosting the third annual Jenn’s F-Cancer Event to benefit the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC), a public health nonprofit serving Delawareans for over 33 years.Twisted Irons Brewery in Newark, DE, will host the event on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. The afternoon will consist of live music, food trucks, a silent auction, raffle items, and more.We’re asking local businesses to support the event by donating an item to the auction. The auction is a great way to highlight your organization while giving to a great cause! Donations to Jenn’s F-Cancer Event auction will help generate thousands of dollars for DBCC’s survivorship support and education programs. We feature a range of unique items, sports memorabilia, salon and spa services, jewelry, home furnishings, golf outings, beach getaways, and gift cards that will promote your organization and bring customers to your door!

Community support is essential and has enabled DBCC to serve local breast cancer survivors for over 33 years, as Delaware’s most trusted breast cancer resource. Your generous support will allow DBCC to continue to deliver local programs of survivorship support, outreach, education, financial assistance, and provide lifesaving screening navigation to overcome any barriers to care such as lack of insurance, lack of provider, language or lack of transportation exclusively in Delaware. Thank you for your support and commitment to the fight against breast cancer in Delaware!

In Support of Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition
The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) is a 501(c)(3) staffed by a combined number of 25 full-time and part-time employees and has an office serving citizens in each of the three counties in Delaware – New Castle, Kent, and Sussex.
DBCC has developed and implemented programs tailored to the unique needs of different populations, including young women with breast cancer, African-American women, Latinas, lesbians, and women with disabilities. DBCC has trained healthcare providers who implement culturally competent care and has conducted many educational sessions for the general public in partnership with corporate and community organizations.
In addition, DBCC has referred and navigated thousands of uninsured adults for free and low-cost cancer screenings and has removed barriers to cancer screenings and treatment by providing interpretation, transportation, and support services.
As a member of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, represented on its board of directors, DBCC has worked to support the national organization’s efforts to research the causes of breast cancer and pursue optimal treatments and cures.
The vision of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition is to create a caring community where barriers to breast cancer screenings are removed and all persons at risk served by DBCC have access to quality care and treatment. DBCC will ensure each individual diagnosed receives resources to become a thriving survivor, armed with the knowledge and support needed to conquer this disease.
