Howell F. Wallace, President of the Mid-Del Charitable Foundation, says “We are so very proud to award financial grants to these deserving organizations so they are able to continue to reach out and affect so many members of our community during these dire economic times. Every recipient honored here today tires long and hard to ensure the quality of life for so many in our downstate communities.”

The mission of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition is to empower our community by raising awareness of breast health issues through outreach, education and support services, in order to facilitate early detection and treatment of breast cancer.
Funds will support the Peer Mentor Support Program developed to assist newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.
