Euphoric Cheese Shop to Donate Portion of Sales in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Date:
October 16, 2021
Time:
10:00 AM - 6:00 PM EDT
Event Description:
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Euphoric Cheese Shop will be donating 20% of sales and 100% of tips on Saturday, October 16, to Breast Connect, Inc., a local nonprofit organization created to empower breast cancer patients by connecting them with information, resources, and friendships.
The owners of Euphoric Cheese Shop, Amy Burritt and Cheri Intveld, are both breast cancer survivors. Diagnosed in July 2020, Burritt heard about Breast Connect, Inc., from her surgeon. “I was 37 years old and totally stunned by my diagnosis and impending double mastectomy,” says Burritt. “The Breast Connect group was an incredible network of survivors who could answer questions and provide support.” “Breast Connect helped me find other resources throughout my recovery — and they sent me flowers and a care package after my surgery. It made a huge impact on me at a really difficult time.” Intveld, who was diagnosed in April 2021 at age 38, has also found invaluable support through the group. “It helps you realize you’re not alone. I was matched with another survivor who had a similar diagnosis and was able to meet with her and learn about her experience and some of what to expect on my own journey.”
