Misty's Seeds of Hope



In March of 2018, when West Virginia Breast Health Initiative was only 8 months old, we lost our beloved Co-Founder, Misty Bennett. Misty was a guiding light for our organization and an ambassador for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2020, we were ready to begin gifting/granting out money to qualifying, medical facilities across the state. So it was only natural that we name the fundraising and community outreach sponsorship program, Misty’s Seeds of Hope. Our guardian angel planting seeds of hope to make sure West Virginians could and can continue to get the help and the hope that they needed.
