The work that UBCF does to empower those affected by breast cancer is nothing less than extraordinary. The support they offer to women and their families brings relief and hope during the most trying time of their lives.” Yeley has been personally impacted by breast cancer and shared, “When my mother-in-law was fighting her battle with breast cancer, we saw how devastating it can be and just how important UBCF’s work is to the community. I look forward to running UBCF’s car #23 this October in the ‘Drive for the Cure 250 presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina‘ and bringing maximum awareness to the incredible work of the Foundation.”
