EPW AWARDS
All About the
EPW Awards
This annual awards celebration is a signature event of the Edith P. Wright Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., honoring individuals whose lives and service embody strength, compassion, and hope. The event pays tribute to breast cancer survivors whose courage inspires perseverance; caregivers whose selfless devotion provides comfort and dignity; medical professionals whose expertise and dedication advance healing; and community champions whose advocacy and leadership strengthen families impacted by the disease.
While the Foundation’s mission remains firmly rooted in breast cancer awareness, education, and support, this celebration also recognizes the shared journey of those affected by all forms of cancer—affirming that compassion knows no diagnosis. Rooted in the Foundation’s enduring legacy, the awards reflect a collective commitment to preserving life, advancing education, and celebrating those who continue the fight—together creating impact far beyond one night.
