History
History
We are a group of ladies who either have had breast cancer, have been a caregiver, or have had a family member go through this cancer. The "Fashions to a Tea" has been around for 20 years. It began with a group of ladies and the American Cancer Society bringing this event to Champaign County each year with a focus on education and breast cancer survivors presenting a fashion show. Through the years it has evolved from a luncheon to dinner, speaker, and show. In 2013, we decided to take this event to the next step and create an organization to help more ladies with breast related issues. Now we have Breast Friends Forever of Champaign County.
