Breast Cancer Resource Center of Santa Barbara

Breast Cancer Resource Center of Santa Barbara (BCRC) is a community resource center that empowers women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer to advocate for themselves and make informed decisions regarding breast health. At BCRC, women are heard and find emotional support in actively navigating their cancer treatment and survivorship health. Breast Cancer Resource Center is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. 

Since 1997, BCRC has been the support care focal point for women with breast cancer in Santa Barbara County. The BCRC was founded by a group of breast cancer survivors and health care professionals who joined together to address a community need for specific breast health information, cancer resources and support for women. In 1997, BCRC opened it’s doors and began offering free essential services.

BCRC programs are designed to foster hope and create a safe haven to nurture mind, body, and spirit by helping people affected by cancer learn vital skills that enable them to regain control and reduce feelings of isolation, regardless of the stage of their disease. These programs focus on practical life tools, self-care, and resources to uplift you in a mindful, healthy way during and after treatment. 

All services are provided free of charge to help ease the burden of this disease, whether one is living with metastatic cancer, newly diagnosed, in treatment, or after treatment. 

RevitaLash® Cosmetics provides contributions that help support BCRC’s mission as a place to ask questions, explore options, and connect with a diverse community of survivors, lifers, and thrivers. For more than 25 years, the women of BCRC have been dedicated to supporting and improving the lives of those touched by breast cancer.

RevitaLash® Cosmetics has been a proud supporter of BCRC’s annual fundraising gala. Turning emotion into action, this exciting evening consists of a live and silent auction that benefits the BCRC, allowing it to continue to offer vital support services and educational resources that benefit women dealing with the devastating impact of a breast cancer diagnosis.

RevitaLash® Cosmetics Co-Founder Gayle Brinkenhoff once walked the runway of BCRC’s Fashion Show to raise money for the center’s free support programs. Guests enjoy lunch, tea, and desserts while the latest fashions are modeled women who have been affected by a breast cancer diagnosis. Filled with shopping, a raffle, and exclusive silent auction, the afternoon is uplifting and enjoyable for all. In honor of Gayle’s devotion and commitment to the center, RevitaLash® Cosmetics continues to sponsor and attend this fabulous annual event.

Annual fundraising events are a fun way to get involved, meet other BCRC supporters and enjoy a great charity event.
