This year
has been a special one for our organization. We've enjoyed special
memories celebrating our 25th anniversary and Minnie’s 100th birthday
and are grateful to recognize the legacy of Minnie Pearl. Minnie
undoubtedly left her mark on the Opry stage, but her impact is felt well
beyond Music City. After Sarah Cannon, also known as comedienne “Minnie
Pearl,” was successfully treated for breast cancer, she became a
passionate supporter in the fight against cancer.
Minnie
understood that while vital medical care is essential, those newly
diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers need real-life support to
cope with a life-changing cancer diagnosis. The Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation is where they can turn for a more confident cancer journey anytime, anywhere.
