This Women's History Month, The Rose celebrates trailblazers within the breast cancer community.
The Rose’s annual Everything’s Coming Up Roses Luncheon happens on March 27th.
This year’s honoree is Nancy Craig. 
Nancy joins Dorothy to discuss her role and share why it’s important to her to spread The Rose’s mission. She shares her personal experience with breast cancer, including early detection and treatment. 
We couldn’t have found a better advocate than Nancy, and you’ll hear why. The conversation dives into community trust, reaching young women, and breaking the language barrier, as well as the need for unrestricted funds.
Mark your calendar for March 27th because you’re sure to have a great time for an even greater cause, supporting the women of The Rose.
