The annual Shrimp Boil raises funds to help The Rose provide mammograms to uninsured women across Southeast Texas.
The event was totally rad, turning up the temperature with 80s vibes and life-saving fundraising. On June 22, supporters rocked their neon best, feasted on Gulf shrimp, and shattered their $150,000 goal by raising $176,000 faster than you can say "Great Scott!" The event, dubbed "Back to the Shrimp Boil," channeled 80s vibes while funding mammograms for uninsured women across Southeast Texas.
Attendees celebrated in 80s-inspired attire, paying homage to the classic film "Back to the Future." The funds will support The Rose's mission to deliver life-saving breast cancer screenings to those in need.
Continuing the momentum from the Shrimp Boil, The Rose's podcast, Let's Talk About Your Breasts, amplifies the organization's mission year-round. Recent episodes featured interviews with community supporters, from bake sale volunteers to long-time donors, each sharing their perspective on the organization's fundraising success and ongoing work.
Dorothy Gibbons, CEO and Co-founder of The Rose, hosts the podcast. She engages in conversations with breast cancer community members. Guests include doctors, employees, donors, and policy influencers.
Launched in 2023, the podcast ranks among top nonprofit shows in the U.S. and globally. While The Rose is a Texas-based organization that serves Texans, it has garnered a following in Japan, Vietnam, and The Netherlands.
The Rose continues its commitment to breast cancer awareness and prevention. Individuals can support this mission by donating at therose.org.
