More than 250 people attended Bosom Buddies’ 25th Anniversary of Celebration of Life Luncheon and Fashion Show: “Stronger Together,” presented by Georgia Cancer Foundation (GCF), Saturday, March 8, to celebrate breast cancer survivors, honor those who have stood by them as members of their support family, and reflect on those who have succumbed to the disease.
The event featured a joint keynote address by cancer survivors Vince and Barbara Dooley and a fashion show featuring breast cancer survivors and members of their support teams. Vince Dooley, former head football coach and athletic director at the University of Georgia, underwent surgery in 2007 to remove a malignant tumor from his throat. Barbara Dooley, Vince’s wife, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and received chemotherapy in 2006.
