2021 Life's Short, Eat Dessert First

Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please do so here.

Life is short and it's time to celebrate – it’s been 14 years since my breast cancer diagnosis!! Unfortunately over that same time, several friends and my sister also endured surgeries and treatment after hearing the words “you have breast cancer.” Great advances are being made every day in breast cancer treatment and I'm committed more than ever to raising money to fight this disease.

I’d love for you to attend my 14th annual "Life's Short, Eat Dessert First" fundraising event on Sunday, October 17. 

To attend, the information you need to know is listed below:

  • Event: “Life’s Short, Eat Dessert First”
  • Date: Sunday, October 17, 2021
  • Time: 1:00 – 4:00 pm (check-in begins at 12:00)
  • Place: The Lakes Golf & Country Club, 6740 Worthington Road, Westerville, OH 43082
  • Cost: $24

RSVP to paulabrose@aol.com to register and secure your seat.

The beneficiary of my event again this year is the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research

Why? Because the Stefanie Spielman Fund is devoted to advancing research in breast cancer and 100% of donations tied to this event goes directly to research at Ohio State’s Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James).

Join me for your mom, your sister, your daughter, your friend, your neighbor and for you by attending and/or making a donation towards my 2021 Life's Short, Eat Dessert First event. 

I am beyond thrilled to share that the 2020 donation was an incredible $22,086! The highest yet - bringing the total over the first 13 years to more than $101,000! Not only was it the highest amount yet, this all happened during a time when everything was virtual. Thank you to everyone who contributed to last year's success!
