On Saturday October 18, the Ellie Fund team joined the Hope & Safety Breast Cancer Together in Wellness Fair, standing proudly with healthcare providers, advocates, and survivors to spread awareness, resources, and hope.

From heartfelt conversations to empowering education, this day reminded us why we do what we do; to make sure every patient in treatment feels supported beyond the hospital walls. Whether it’s childcare, transportation, meals, or emotional support, Ellie Fund is here to help lighten the load.

Today, we also honor National Mammography Day— a vital reminder that early detection truly saves lives.
Did You Know?

Mammograms can detect breast cancer up to three years before it can be felt.
* Women 40 and older should schedule a mammogram *every 1–2 years, or earlier if they’re at higher risk.
* Regular screenings have reduced breast-cancer mortality by roughly 40 percent in recent decades.

Together, through awareness + access, we’re building a future where no one faces breast cancer alone.

Thank you to the incredible organizers, volunteers, and community partners who made this weekend’s event so impactful especially ; and to everyone encouraging their loved ones to schedule a mammogram this month. 💗
