The mission of the High Country Breast Cancer Foundation is to support breast cancer patients, survivors, and their families in the High Country of North Carolina.  While many wonderful organizations hold events locally, some of the money they raise in the High Country is usually taken out of our communities and used elsewhere.  We are an all-volunteer organization and 100% of the funds the Foundation raises goes directly to breast cancer patients in the High Country. The Foundation holds an annual 5K Walk/Run every October in Blowing Rock.
