Minette’s Angels: Looking Forward To Our Third Decade

Minette’s Angels President and Founder Ken McKenna underscored the foundation’s impact on breast cancer survivors and their families through Acts of Kindness and Breast Cancer Advocacy.

It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”
