Vision Statement

Inspiring friends and "Pink-Ribbon Warriors" to draw upon the power of friendship, laughter and kindness in the fight against breast cancer.


All the proceeds go to fund mammograms and breast-related services for medically underserved women in our community. These are uninsured women who are not covered by any other assistance programs. We are currently working toward raising enough money to purchase a breast ultrasound machine for the local clinic. Our dream is to be able to fund a mobile mammography unit for the city of Hartford. Currently, there is no unit in our area and we feel strongly that there is a population of uninsured and elderly women who would benefit greatly. 



A Winner

Mission Statement

Team Towanda Foundation's mission is to distribute The Charge of the Casserole Cavalry, The Official Towanda Cookbook and other related projects to:

  1. Serve as a guide to help a friend through a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment;
  2. Raise money for breast cancer detection, services and research;
  3. Share ideas and suggestions of encouragement, support and friendship to "Pink-Ribbon Warriors" and their friends and family.


In October 2002 Team Towanda was pleased to be awarded the "Connecticut Treasure's Award" by Lt. Governor, Jodi Rell. Each month one individual and one group is awarded "who has made extraordinary volunteer contributions to the community. People who give of their time and their talents, not for pay or recognition, but out of kindness and an abiding sense of responsibility and compassion."
