The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition's Shining Light Awards is held annually to honor exceptional individuals and organizations who have made outstanding contributions to the fight against breast cancer in the Greater Delaware region. These awards celebrate those whose dedication, innovation, and advocacy have significantly advanced the cause, inspiring others to become champions in the effort to end breast cancer.Join us for a cocktail reception held at the Waterfall to honor this year's award recipient, Twisted Irons Craft Brewing Company!
Twisted Irons Craft Brewing Company, founded in 2020 by Matt Found and Dave Markle, is being honored for its exceptional and heartfelt commitment to the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC). Despite launching during a pandemic, Twisted Irons immediately prioritized community involvement.
Their connection to the breast cancer community is deeply personal as both have friends and family who have battled the dreadful disease. This personal tie spurred their initiative to support the cause. Twisted Irons created "Pinipple NEIPA," a special beer that donates a dollar per pint sold directly to DBCC's public health programs.
Join us to help celebrate these incredible honorees in August!

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.
