Breast Cancer Patient and Survivor Pampering Event this
Saturday, April 27, 2024 at Warwick
Mall
WARWICK,
R.I., April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) is proud to host a heartfelt
event dedicated to honor the memory of Audrey Beverly Christy Mastroianni, a remarkable
Rhode Island woman who bravely
battled breast cancer. The "Gifts of Comfort and Hope" Mattress and
Pink Bag Event is set to take place on Saturday, April 27th at Warwick Mall.
UBCF's Mattress and Pink Bag Event: "Gifts
of Comfort and Hope" is more than
a giveaway. It's a celebration of Audrey
Beverly Christy Mastroianni's life, while uplifting breast
cancer warriors. This event creates a supportive environment filled
with pampering gifts, shared strength and connection.
The event is a deeply personal one for Stephanie Mastroianni, Executive Director of
UBCF, who lost her mother, Audrey, to breast cancer at just 42
years old. Driven by a personal mission to honor her beloved mother
and help others, Stephanie joined UBCF in 2001 as President and
Executive Director.
The Christy family has long standing roots in Rhode Island. John B.
Christy, Audrey's father, was the owner of "Christy's Tap of
Cranston" and a beloved member of
the community. Over the years the Christy family has supported
numerous philanthropic causes including St. Jude Children's
Research Hospital, local Rhode
Island food pantries, various scholarship funds, and of
course generous support of United Breast Cancer Foundation.
UBCF is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives
of those affected by breast cancer. This mission is particularly
close to Stephanie's heart, and the upcoming event in Warwick holds special meaning. It's not only a
chance to continue UBCF's legacy built on deep familial ties and
mutual support, but also a homecoming filled with cherished
memories of time spent with her mother. Audrey's memory will live
on through UBCF's life-supporting patient and family programs.
UBCF's event this weekend embodies the spirit of UBCF's
programs, which have evolved from Stephanie's experience with her
mother's battle with breast cancer. UBCF aims to assist breast
cancer patients, survivors and their families who need resources
and encouragement as they navigate along their journey, so that
they might cultivate a more enriching and peaceful experience.
UBCF's Mattress and Pink Bag Event: "Gifts of Comfort and
Hope" is more than just a
giveaway. It's a celebration of Audrey
Beverly Christy Mastroianni's life, while uplifting breast
cancer warriors and their families. This event creates a supportive
environment filled with pampering gifts, shared strength, and a
chance to connect. Attendees can look forward to a day centered
entirely on them – a day to treat themselves, share stories, and
find strength in community.
Continuing its tradition of providing essential support, the
"Gifts of Comfort and Hope" event
will distribute queen-size restorative mattresses all free of
charge. The Pink Bag Shopping Event provides an opportunity for
individuals to choose from a diverse selection of quality gifts,
including comfy clothes and shoes, pampering makeup and personal
care products, household goods to spruce up living spaces, cozy

own personal assistant to help select their goodies, creating a
personalized and caring shopping experience.

Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation to spread the word
about the event, and UBCF is grateful to Warwick Mall for
