BreastStrokes is a grass-roots effort dedicated to helping female cancer patients receive the financial support they need during treatment. We do this through many fundraising events in Knoxville. Including our empowering yearly art project that started it all; featuring women whose lives, in one way or another, have been affected by cancer. What began in February 2009 with a small group of gals focused on helping out one of their own with breast cancer has now grown to include over 300 volunteers open to supporting women with any kind of cancer regardless of insurance status. We depend solely on the generosity of our Knoxville community, whether it be volunteering, through donations of goods or monetarily. 100% of every cent we receive goes directly to women going through one of their worst times. Your hostesses are excited to show You a great time and share with You more of what makes Breaststrokes "Knoxville's favorite charity"!
