The Lump to Laughter organization is dedicated to supporting those diagnosed with breast cancer, with a focus on renewing spirits and alleviating anxiety for all women in treatment for cancer.

“At Lump to Laughter, no woman should ever have to worry about whether to pay her mortgage or pay for her treatments,” said Connie Hill, executive director. “Whatever it takes to provide relief and lower the stress level for those we serve is what Lump to Laughter is all about. Our organization is truly grateful to all of the sponsors and sharing in our passion to help fight this disease.”
