RIVERSIDE, CA  – The CARE Project, Inc. (TCP), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the local breast cancer community, today announced it has received its largest single donation of $50,000 from the 2024 Believe Walk.  

“This generous contribution will be instrumental in advancing TCP's mission to provide comprehensive support to individuals who have received a breast cancer diagnosis,” said Carrie Madrid, the founder and president of The CARE Project. 

The funds will directly impact patients' lives by covering essential expenses such as medical copays, utilities, rent, and groceries. 

“The donation also enables TCP to continue offering vital services, including the provision of compression sleeves and access to end-of-life Doula services, ensuring dignity and comfort for patients and their families,” said Madrid. 

"We are so incredibly thankful for this generous donation from the 2024 Believe Walk," said the founder of The CARE Project. 

"This enables us to continue to CARE for the breast cancer community in so many vital ways. Our work is a team effort, and we are deeply grateful to our dedicated volunteers, board members and grant writer: Crystal Gonzalez, Diana Jaurigue, Gina Negrete Fitzsimmons, Tim Crocker, Pat Washburn, Dr. Angela Martin, and Dalida Silverman—whose hard work and belief in our vision make everything possible."

2025 Believe Walk, a cornerstone of community-based cancer support in Southern California, was co-founded by Annie, Cathy, and the late Nancy of The Inland Women Fighting Cancer committee. 

For 18 years, their partnership with Stater Bros. Charities has created a powerful force for good. 

What makes the 2025 Believe Walk particularly special is that the funds raised support individuals with all types of cancer and benefit multiple non-profit organizations throughout the region.

The CARE Project invites the community to join its team for the 2025 Believe Walk, which will take place on the first Sunday in October in downtown Redlands.
