​MISSION
The Mission of the Bedford County Pink Ribbon Fund is to support breast cancer patients/survivors, along with their families and friends, in their battle against breast cancer in the Bedford County region.

ABOUT US
Led by our Chairperson, Dr. Katherine Erlichman (a two-time breast cancer survivor), and a robust, innovative Board, the Bedford County Pink Ribbon Fund is a fund formed through the Bedford County Endowments/Community Foundation for the Alleghenies, a 501-c3 charitable foundation committed to improving the quality of life in the Bedford County region. Together, the Fund continues its work through fundraising events, such as its annual Pink Walk/5K Run and Rock-A-Thon. Numerous support opportunities are available to breast cancer patients/survivors, such as financial support, chemotherapy comfort care kits, wig/beauty consultations, volunteer drivers to doctor/treatment appointments and a monthly Breast Cancer Support Group meeting.
