Our Mission

Helping Families Affected by Breast Cancer.

 

The Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation is rooted in the ideals of Josette Beddell, who lost her battle with cancer but lived her life working to better her community and always giving a helping hand.

 
 
 

Our Impact

Breast Cancer doesn't just affect the patient, it affects the whole family: physically, emotionally, and financially. The Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation stands to honor Josette and all the strong women and families who have experienced challenges and lifelong changes because of this disease. We provide financial grants, college scholarships, and "well wishes", through fundraising events and volunteer work. To share hope, provide support, and be a light in dark times for those battling breast cancer is our goal.  

 

1 Million

Dollars Raised

The Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation has been fundraising since 2009 to help support women and families in Ohio battling breast cancer. We are proud to have raised over 1 million dollars since 2009 with the help of our community and supporters.

We are so grateful that the Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation has decided to assist our mother during this difficult time. It means so much to know that there are foundations such as yours that care enough to make life less stressful by helping and making the process hassle free. We are both touched and speechless by your act of kindness.

Get Involved

Members of the community can help support our cause by attending one of our events, volunteering your time, being a corporate sponsor, or making a donation. Each hour volunteered, each donation given no matter how small or large, and each corporate sponsorship whether a family-owned local enterprise or a large corporation helps allows us to directly impact those in need. We could not do it without your assistance.
