Bosom Buddies-AZ support group members frequently participate in fundraisers for the American Cancer Society. This is a photo of our Chandler/Ahwatukee support group at their local American Cancer Society Relay for Life Event. Proceeds from these events are often used to provide services to those with cancer in the communities where the fund raisers are held.
