The event will kick off the centers' joint sponsorship of the Support Connection’s annual Support-A-Walk for breast and ovarian cancer, which will be held in October.
The breakfast will also include door prize drawings and offer networking opportunities. Support Connection staff and volunteers will be registering anyone interested in participation in the walk, and answering questions. There will be informational materials about the walk as well, and about methods for fundraising and forming teams.
Support Connection provides many services to breast and ovarian cancer patients on a local and national basis. The organization offers free peer counseling and support groups and further education about the cancer, for patients and their families. This year marks its 20th anniversary.

She added, “We wish them the best on their 20th year serving the community.”
