  • Join us for an evening of living and giving while putting on the Ritz!

    Step back into the glamour and elegance of the Roaring '20s at DBCC's 2027 Lights of Life Gala—an unforgettable evening celebrating life, hope, and the incredible generosity of our community. We invite you to join us for a Gatsby-inspired night of dazzling entertainment, meaningful connections, and philanthropy, all in support of those impacted by breast cancer.

    By becoming a sponsor or donating an item to our live and silent auctions, you'll not only showcase your brand at one of Delaware's premier fundraising events but also make a direct and lasting impact on survivors and families throughout our state.

    Your support is essential in generating the critical funding needed to sustain DBCC's life-saving survivorship support, education, and outreach programs. Our auctions will feature an extraordinary collection of experiences and treasures—from luxury getaways and sparkling jewelry to exclusive sports experiences, fine dining, and more—generously donated by our valued community partners.

    Every dollar raised helps sustain DBCC's vital programs, including survivorship support groups, breast health education, transportation assistance, interpretation services, and other resources that provide hope, healing, and access to care for individuals and families across 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.
