President's Thoughts


On behalf of Join the Journey I’d like to wish all of you Happy Holidays! In this busy season I hope you make time to enjoy the simple things ~ the lights, the traditions. Allow the season to strengthen your faith, deepen your hope, and ignite your charity. I wish you a season with time for love and laughter.

Join the Journey is celebrating our 5th year of success and tremendous growth! In September our walk was attended by over 1000 participants who earned over $100,000 ~ thanks to your support! This, in turn, increases the programs and patient support we provide. I’d like to take this time to send a sincere thank you to our largest contributors:

• Rochester New Car & Truck Dealers Association
• Olmsted Medical Center
• Think Mutual Bank
• Lakeside Dentistry
• Lasker Jewelers
• Psimos Oral Surgery
• Napa Auto-Rochester
• Star Limo
• Rochester Ford Mazda
• Salon Nouvo
• Taste of Woodland Benefit
• Catering by Design
• Booker Mini Foundation
• Kwik Trip
• 102.5 The Fox radio station

It is due to the support of these sponsors that we are able to help so many breast cancer patients with educational materials, Pink Ribbon Mentors, gas and grocery gift cards, Care Baskets, Making Waves dragon boat program, and more.

Join the Journey looks forward to another year of success, expanding the number of patients we reach and the benefits we provide in partnership with our community. We are so very thankful for this community that has so passionately supported our mission. It is overwhelming to see what can happen when one bold idea is embraced by three strong founders, and now, five short years later, we have over 200 volunteers standing shoulder to shoulder with us in carrying out our programs! It is heart warming to participate in such a strong, vibrant community!

God Bless you and Happy New Year!
Connie Lexvold
