2025 Year in Review: Big Hearts. Big Impact.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a year filled with generosity and powerful community support. Thanks to people like you, the Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation was able to make a real difference for women and families in Ohio impacted by breast cancer.

Here’s a look at what we did together this year:

  • We welcomed over 700 attendees to the 2025 Wind Chime Ball

  • That single night raised $305,000...our largest fundraiser to date

  • We partnered with more than 30 organizations, clubs, teams, businesses, and individuals for fundraisers supporting our cause 

  • Those partnerships raised an additional $50,000 to support our mission

  • We distributed $311,000 in financial grants, that support reached 251 women and families across Ohio

  • We delivered 28 Well Wishes, non-financial gifts like flowers and care packages, to brighten someone’s day

  • We awarded 18 college scholarships, totaling $12,000, to students with a parent or guardian facing breast cancer

Since our founding, the Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation has provided $1,849,284 in support to those in need. That number represents more than just dollars it represents real relief, real connection, and real hope.

Everything we accomplished this year was possible because you showed up by giving, attending events, spreading the word, and caring deeply. Your support makes it possible for us to say yes when a family needs help.

Thank you for being part of this mission. We’re already working toward an even more impactful 2026, and we hope you’ll continue the journey with us.

Because together, WE HATE CANCER.
