SAN BERNARDINO, CA - The CARE Project, Inc. (TCP), a non- profit organization dedicated to supporting the local breast cancer community, today announced it has received its largest single donation to date from the 2024 Believe Walk. "This generous contribution will be instrumental in advancing TCP's mission to provide comprehensive support to individuals who have re- ceived a breast cancer diagnosis," said Carrie Madrid, the founder and president of The CARE Project.

The funds will directly impact pa- tients' lives by covering essential expenses such as medical copays, utilities, rent, and groceries.

"The donation also enables TCP to continue offering vital services, including the provision of compres- sion sleeves and access to end-of- life Doula services, ensuring digni- ty and comfort for patients and their families," said Madrid.

"We are so incredibly thankful for this generous donation from the 2024 Believe Walk," said the found- er of The CARE Project.

"This enables us to continue to CARE for the breast cancer commu- nity in so many vital ways. Our work is a team effort, and we are deeply grateful to our dedicated volunteers, board members and grant writer: Crystal Gonzalez, Diana Jaurigue, Gina Negrete Fitzsimmons, Tim Crocker, Pat Washburn, Dr. Angela Martin, and Dalida Silverman- whose hard work and belief in our vision make everything possible."

2025 Believe Walk, a cornerstone of community-based cancer sup- port in Southern California, was co- founded by Annie, Cathy, and the late Nancy of The Inland Women Fighting Cancer committee.
