Thank You!

back in the swing parties raise funds and awareness through celebration and education to improve and protect your health after breast cancer.

• "I thought you were only a pink shopping card!"
• "I didn't know you were an organization!"
• "Now I understand what survivorship care is!"
• "I am so glad to know that my daughter will get help for the side-effects of her treatment."

These responses represent the comments we heard as we visited with hundreds of you over 30 days and 80 events. And our gratitude goes to the hundreds of retailers, shoppers, companies, sponsors and volunteers who held and supported these events to celebrate the survivorship medical care that is now available.

And now this care will be a required standard for all accredited cancer centers beginning in 2015!

This year our goal was to celebrate and educate. Thanks to your commitment to our mission, we exceeded expectations. And we were able to educate like never before.

Party hosts who raised $500 or more will receive a complimentary copy of the upcoming Back in the Swing Cookbook, to be published in fall of 2012 by Andrews McMeel Publishing. Thanks to our supporters, our work in breast cancer survivorship clinical care and research has been groundbreaking, and, with this landmark book, we well share what we've learned with the nation.

Stay tuned for upcoming announcements on how we're going to celebrate the publication of The Back in the Swing Cookbook this fall.
