Mission

 

Our mission is to support non-profit organizations that aid in the research of cancer prevention, education, services and care improvement.

 

 

Patty's Pals is a group of family and friends who came together initially to support Patty who was diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer in December 2011. Patty was so appreciative of this overwhelming support, she wanted to ensure no cancer patient ever fought alone and dedicated the rest of her years to raising awareness. Patty realized cancer comes in all shapes and sizes and touches our lives in so many ways and in 2014 she founded the Patty's Pals Foundation Ltd, a non-profit corporation 501(c)(3) number 47-1215637.
