who we are
Our Values
Integrity
Our commitment to helping those in need is the very foundation of why we do what we do. Integrity in all things is a high priority of ours so that we may maintain the trust of our local community.
Wholeheartedness
We promise to have empathy in all of our efforts. Our team will show up for the community and our patients with a kind heart and the energy needed to make a difference in our High Country home.
Service
Service is our guiding principle and through unwavering stewardship we are able to support and give aid to our patients and their families as they courageously fight this disease.
An HCBCF Pledge
Irene, our founder and president, promises that our foundation’s efforts are direct from wallet to patient. Therefore, she covers the cost of everything with earnings from her Real Estate business: The pink tents, our signature tutus, pink ducks, the free food we provide at community events, the race t-shirts and gift packets, the entertainment on race day, the advertising expenses, etc.
Accountability in Every Penny
Every Penny that we receive from sponsors, fundraisers and donors goes to help those in need, right here in the High Country. Consider us your humble conduit between those in the community who can give and those in the community who need that gift.
Commitment to Making Change
From 2017 to today. Irene, her officers, and YOU – our neighbors – have come together to make sure that the Foundation accomplishes its mission: to help the local community and let those facing breast cancer know their community is fighting the fight with them.
Fundraising
HCBCF is powered by the generosity of the High Country community. Our support comes from annual sponsors, individual donations, and community events. All working together to help local breast cancer patients directly. However someone chooses to give, their support becomes part of a larger mission: neighbors helping neighbors when it matters most.
