Members of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition were joined by over 250 business and community members at the Shining Light Awards held in Wilmington to honor those making an impact on breast cancer in the Delaware.

The Shining Light Awards recognize those who have made significant contributions to the advancements made toward ending breast cancer in Delaware and who serve to motivate and inspire others to be champions of the cause.

Proceeds from the Shining Light Awards will benefit DBCC’s programs that increase breast cancer awareness, promote the importance of early detection, provide access to mammograms, and provide support and resources to men and women in the local community who are newly diagnosed or facing a recurrence of breast cancer.
