Gratitude to Local Partners

A special thank-you also goes to the Derby City Dragons, Louisville’s breast cancer survivor dragon boat team, for coordinating volunteers and lending their spirit of collaboration and teamwork to the event.
Why This Support Matters
Kentucky continues to face significant challenges when it comes to breast cancer:
- Kentucky remains among the states with the highest overall cancer rates in the U.S., according to Advisory Board.
- Breast cancer accounts for about 30% (or 1 in 3) of all new cancers diagnosed in women in the U.S. each year as reported by ACS.
For patients battling breast cancer, restorative sleep plays a crucial role in healing, recovery, and emotional health. By providing high-quality therapeutic mattresses, UBCF helps relieve one of the many burdens faced by survivors and those in treatment, allowing both patients and survivors to rest and recover more comfortably.
