Our next CREATIVE HEALING RETREAT FOR BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS will be from Friday evening, October 1st through noon on Sunday, October 3, 2010 at the elegant Inn at Morro Bay in Morro Bay State Park. Springing from the experiences of an artist who found healing in her art during treatment, our retreats provide guided access to a variety of art forms, from music to journaling and yoga. Attendees learn, relax, share and heal in a beautiful setting with new friends. CLICK HERE for more details.

Our BREAST CANCER CARE FUND assists women in San Luis Obispo County area who are unable to afford prostheses, lymphedema treatment supplies or any breast-cancer-related treatment needs. This fund was created in 2008 from a generous donation by the Central Coast Women's League, which continues to support this fund, and we have distributed more than $30,000 in assistance to survivors since its inception.
