Celebrating 20 Years of Impact

Two decades ago, Ethel Precht had a vision: to create a local walk event that would raise funds and provide vital financial support to individuals in Calcasieu and Cameron parishes undergoing breast cancer treatment. This vision, fueled by Ethel’s unwavering passion, has transformed the annual breast cancer walk into one of the most significant community events dedicated to breast cancer awareness.

 

To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we want to highlight you or your loved one’s breast cancer journey and how the program has impacted you personally.

Ethel Mae LeBleu Precht 1937 - 2017

Ethel started a breast cancer walk in 2004 to assist local breast cancer survivors in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes. Thanks to tremendous local support, in 2008, she started a non profit organization named The Ethel Precht HOPE Breast Cancer Foundation, Incorporated. The impact of having breast cancer at age 50 and surviving it changed her life and our community forever.

The Foundation was formed in 2008 with the sole mission of providing 100% of proceeds directly to individuals in the Calcasieu and Cameron Parishes who are going through breast cancer treatment.
