“We are thrilled to be part of the SoCal Divas Blues Festival event in Old Town. Michelle’s Place appreciates the support and the opportunity to reach women and their families about the resources we provide as well as information on early detection. And, what a great way to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month! We look forward to the event and to the music of the SoCal Divas!” – Kim Gerrish, Executive Director, Michelle’s Place.

“We are so grateful to have your support this October with your upcoming Divas of Blues event. Old Town Blues Club is going to make such an impact, providing help and inspiring hope to women facing breast cancer – thank you!” – Michelle Romanczukiewicz, Senior Fundraising Coordinator, National Breat Cancer Foundation.
