The Bridge Breast Network
Season's Greeting!!
This year, more than ever, we have been reminded of the importance of the health and wellness of our family and friends. As we look forward to celebrating 2025 and give thanks for the bounty of blessings we are fortunate to receive, the Bridge Breast Network is reaching out to you so that we can continue to provide services to our clients. Since its inception in 1992, the BBN has been a bridge of hope for over 250,000 North Texas individuals. The premise that no woman (man) should suffer in silence with breast cancer because she/he lacks the financial resources still remains the foundation of our program. Help us to continue to be a bridge that provides light, spreads love, gives peace and touches the lives of North Texas families for years to come.
The Board of Directors, staff and clients of Bridge Breast Network thank you for your continued support and generosity and wish you a Happy Holiday Season.
