At Caldwell Insurance Services, our hearts are always with the people who make Sonora such a strong and compassionate community. This season, we are honored to stand beside the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) — a remarkable organization devoted to supporting young adults facing breast cancer and changing what survivorship looks like for them.

Breast cancer can be life changing at any age, but for women diagnosed under 40, the challenges are uniquely overwhelming. Treatments can bring unexpected hurdles, from fertility concerns and early menopause to body image struggles and financial strain, all while many are still building careers, families, and their futures. That is where YSC steps in.

Since 1998, YSC has built an incredible network of hope and strength. What began as a small group of young survivors in New York City has grown into an international movement with more than 170 local networking groups, a thriving online community, and the largest conference dedicated solely to young adults with breast cancer. They provide free educational resources, peer to peer support, and programs that remind young survivors they are never alone on this journey.

We are proud to help bring awareness to YSC’s mission because we know that a diagnosis does not just affect the body. It affects the heart, dreams, and plans for the future. By supporting YSC, we are helping ensure that young women have access to the guidance, connection, and empowerment they need to keep moving forward.

If you know someone facing breast cancer at a young age, please share YSC’s resources and community with them. Together, we can bring comfort, hope, and strength to those navigating one of life’s toughest battles.
