The Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation is honored to welcome a variety of exceptional organizations and individuals from all around our community who support our goal in a variety of unique ways. Each organization, independently organized and championed, has offered brilliant ideas for fundraising offers and events to support the foundation. Our community associates provide the TBBCF with the opportunity to reach an extensive and varied audience, by introducing the important work we do to fund breast cancer research. These extraordinary individuals and groups have generously committed to donate a percentage of their profits to the cause. These neighborhood initiatives provide our community associates an opportunity to make a positive impact on the fight against breast cancer.

Please join us in supporting these community organizations and events:

LIFE AFTER THE STORM
Hardly anything in life is more stressful than a scary diagnosis: sitting across from a doctor who is telling you that the test results came back, and yes, it is cancer. And yet, according to Melissa Burns of Guilford, a woman who's lived through that moment, the most difficult part of the breast cancer journey begins when the medical treatment ends.

WALKING ACROSS THE CURRICULA
"Finding Solutions To Cancer as We Find Solutions in Math!" Guided as the brainchild of teacher Jay Gionet, students at the East Lyme Middle School began an interdisciplinary community service project in September of 2007, where students were solving investigative problems in school as they helped others solve a real-world problem known as breast cancer. This year a number of other schools across the country have joined in the math-driven project.

W.I.S.E. (Wise Individualized Senior Experience) PROGRAM
Wise Individualized Senior Experience, Inc. (WISE Services) is a not-for-profit organization with administrative and mentoring expertise earned in three decades of work. The staff assists schools in developing, maintaining and renewing high school senior experience programs tailored to the needs of individual districts. Individualized senior experience programs offer a unique opportunity for partnerships between schools, community agencies and businesses to create a comprehensive learning experience. In 2008, three seniors at Old Saybrook High School developed W.I.S.E. projects with fundraising proceeds benefiting TBBCF.

BREAST CANCER GOLF TOURNAMENTS
Barbara O'Connell has launched a campaign to recruit golf clubs to join TBBCF's fight against breast cancer. She has reached out to a number of private and semi-private golf clubs throughout New England and even as far away as Florida. Her goal is to recruit at least two clubs per year. O'Connell is currently working with several semi-private clubs to organize open tournaments in 2009. If you play golf and think your club would be interested in supporting this great organization, you can contact Barbara O'Connell at tbbcf@sbcglobal.net.
