Wellness Community Fundraiser a Success!

Yoga Bear was proud to be a Red Star Donor for a Wellness Community Silicon Valley fundraiser. The theme of the night was "STAR Caregiver Awards Night", and each table hosted a caregiver recognized for outstanding love, compassion, and dedication. As part of the nomination process, nominators were invited to provide three words to describe their nominees. Many of these words were then printed on red stars adorning the walls. We heard so many beautiful stories of strength and hope from these incredible individuals, who helped their loved ones in their battle with cancer.

The Wellness Community (TWC) is a network of community-based, nonprofit organizations dedicated to providing emotional support, education, and hope -- at no charge to participants. TWC, now in its 26th year nationwide, provides a home-like setting where individuals can learn from -- and support -- each other. Participants also learn vital skills enabling them to regain control, reduce feelings of isolation, and restore hope, regardless of the stage of their disease. TWC offers professionally facilitated support groups, educational workshops, and mind/body programs developed from peer-reviewed research.
