Farewell to Dee's We're Sew Creative

Honoring a Beautiful Partnership: Farewell to Dee’s We’re Sew Creative: It was a deeply emotional and heartfelt moment today as, on behalf of Breast Cancer Hub (BCH), we said farewell to our cherished partner, Dee’s We’re Sew Creative in Concord, as the shop comes to a close. Over the years, I have been fortunate to build friendships with each of them, and it was truly difficult for me personally as well to see this meaningful chapter come to an end-and to think I won’t get to see or meet them in the same way again.

Our journey together began in January 2023 when Brenda first reached out with a vision of service and compassion. What followed was an extraordinary partnership built on kindness, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to supporting cancer patients and their families.

We are deeply grateful to the incredible core team-Sandy , Brenda, Diana, Jeanette, Jamelle, Blake, and so many others-who selflessly volunteered their time, talent, and expertise to create specialized BCH Patient Care Packages. Each item was lovingly handcrafted with perfection and detailing, to bring comfort, healing, and hope to those facing one of life’s most difficult battles.

A special thank you to Jasleen Kohli for baking the beautiful delicious blueberry cakes that made our farewell gathering so memorable, and to Madhumita Chatterjee for the heartfelt handmade souvenir that will forever remind the team of this remarkable partnership. Grateful to our BCH leaders - Jasleen & Madhumita for making the send-off special.

Impact: In partnership with Dee’s We’re Sew Creative, over the years countless patients received heart-shaped comfort pillows with pockets for hot or cold packs (post surgery), specialized chemo port seatbelt pillows that provide protection and relief while traveling, and soft hats designed for sensitive scalps affected by chemotherapy. These thoughtful creations have made a meaningful difference in the lives of BCH Cancer Fighters throughout North Carolina and across the United States.
We have also provided these care packages to cancer patients at Atrium Health’s Levine Children’s Cancer and the Department of Supportive Oncology Cancer Resource Center, bringing comfort and support throughout their cancer journey.

As we say farewell to Dee’s We’re Sew Creative, we are grateful that this meaningful project will carry on. Through the careful planning of Diana, owner of Dee’s We’re Sew Creative, the partnership is being transitioned to Quilt Patch Fabrics. We appreciate this thoughtful handoff and look forward to a continued and valued collaboration

With gratitude,

Junoon-BCH Fun Run 2025 and Junoon’s Fundraiser for BCH!

Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) & BCH Wings-Cancer Hubs is truly honored to partner with the incredible JUNOON Team in a heartfelt event supporting Cancer Fighters and Families, remembering our beloved Departed, and raising awareness for Cancer Prevention and Early Detection. A massive shout-out to the dynamic leaders behind this effort — Sharanya Raman, Eva Tiwari, Manasi Iyer, and Seema Tiwari (Founder, Seema’s School of Dance) — for their unwavering dedication and passion. A special note of gratitude to Raju Sarikonda for generously capturing the spirit of the day through his beautiful photography and videography, devoting his time and expertise.

A massive shout-out to Manasi Iyer and her incredibly talented musical band for their beautiful performance bringing joy and energy to the event. We are deeply grateful to all participants, runners, stall leaders, Junoon, and BCH volunteers, as well as every supporter who made this event a meaningful success.

This year, the Junoon team raised $9,278.01 through sponsors, corporate matching, and the Junoon-BCH Fun Run! We are deeply grateful to every individual and groups that supported this event, making it a meaningful success.

With heartfelt thanks,

Dr Lopamudra Das Roy, on behalf of the BCH family,
