Style Magazine Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin: October 2019
Fifteen years ago, we produced our first Readers’ Choice Awards issue, which was the community’s opportunity to vote on who they believe is the best. It is the single most read and referenced issue we produce each year and we owe a very special group of people special thanks for making this issue happen–you, our readers! Thousands of readers cast more than 120,000 votes for local businesses and organizations this year. It’s hard to believe how much this contest has grown and how much it means to the winners and to the readers who source this issue (both in print and online) when making all types of buying decisions every day. We are proud to say that our Readers’ Choice Awards is the largest awards contest of its type in the Sacramento region. What’s most important to our readers is knowing their votes count, we don’t choose winners because they are advertisers. We don’t choose the winners at all. This is truly a contest voted on by the readers alone. We want to take this opportunity to let you know how much we appreciate your readership and support of STYLE. And for all the winners who chose to say “thank you” for voting for them by placing an ad in our special section, well, we very much thank you, too! Congrats to each and every one of you! — All the Best, Terry Carroll & Wendy Sipple Publishers

Five Local Breast Cancer Support Groups<br />
by JANET SCHERR<br />
Courage and strength triumph over adversity<br />
right here where we live. Breast cancer<br />
patients, survivors, and their families who<br />
have fought the disease have turned around to<br />
become founders, activists, and volunteers at these<br />
local breast cancer organizations.<br />
ALBIE AWARE<br />
Albie Aware Breast Cancer Foundation was created<br />
in 2004 by Doug Carson to honor his late wife, Albie.<br />
Tragically, Albie lost her battle with breast cancer and the<br />
foundation now aims to replace fear with facts. Since its<br />
founding, Albie Aware has provided assistance for diagnostic<br />
testing to thousands of women and men in the Sacramento<br />
area. “Along with testing, we serve as a go-to resource,” says<br />
Amanda C. Nelson, Executive Director of Albie Aware. “Our<br />
mission is to provide patient advocacy, prevention education,<br />
and compassionate support to local individuals facing or<br />
fighting breast cancer.”<br />

IMAGES OF HOPE (Serving El Dorado County)<br />
Glass art making, silk scarf painting, yoga practice, and<br />
equine therapy are just a few of the free classes offered<br />
by Images of Hope to those who have been impacted<br />
by cancer. Funded by the Marshall Foundation for<br />
Community Health, the activities provide a pleasurable respite<br />
from the stress that cancer patients and caregivers must deal<br />
with on a day-to-day basis. The classes are small and casual<br />
with local people from all walks of life. No prior experience<br />
in art or movement is required. Additionally, there is a breast<br />
cancer support group that meets monthly and most events<br />
are held at the Marshall Cancer Resource Center in Cameron<br />
Park. Images of Hope is also responsible for Pink in the Night<br />
during the month of <strong>October</strong> where downtown Placerville is<br />
illuminated with pink lights to symbolize the community’s<br />
united fight against cancer.<br />
