On Tuesday, April 29, the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) honored the legacy of Carol Vance Wall and the Vance Wall Foundation; model, activist, and two-time breast cancer survivor Linda Evangelista; and Bonnie Anderson and Judy Perkins, 2025 Grassroots Advocacy Award Honorees.
Carol Vance Wall was a dear friend to and dedicated supporter of NBCC from the beginning. Over the course of a nearly 30-year relationship, Carol sat on NBCC’s Board of Trustees, chaired the Major Donor Council, and served as an advisor and confidante to NBCC President Fran Visco.
A strong believer in the power of science, Carol was a major sponsor of NBCC’s key research and education programs, bringing advocates and scientists together to support NBCC’s mission to end breast cancer.
Carol passed away from metastatic breast cancer in 2022, but the Vance Wall Foundation continues Carol’s legacy of generosity and dedication to ending breast cancer.
Guests enjoyed a look at NBCC’s rich history of accomplishments since its founding more than 30 years ago, as well as a performance by Tony Award-nominated singer and actress Laura Bell Bundy.
We are grateful to the guests, donors, and sponsors who support NBCC’s important life-saving work.
