THE BUZZ

PRETTY IN PINK WAS THE BUZZ AS NOBCF LUNCHEON RAISES AWARENESS FOR BREAST CANCER RESEARCH
More than 600 people attended the Nancy Owens Breast Cancer Foundation (NOBCF) Luncheon at the Hilton Americas. This was the most successful luncheon to date, enabling the foundation to set new fundraising records.
The foundation donated $165,000 equally divided between the Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Department of Nanomedicine, Houston Methodist Research Institute.
Amy Bernstein, Chairman of NOBCF since its inception turned over the chairmanship to Terri Guerra in 2019, Bernstein officially passed the baton yesterday. Bernstein is still extremely active in the Foundation and chairs its fund-raising committee. Bernstein was also honored to announce to the crowd that Terri Guerra was awarded the Houston Association of Realtors’ prestigious John E. Wolf Community Service Award.
A highlight at this year’s luncheon was the presentation of the “Nancy Owens Spirit of Courage Award,” which reflects the courage of an extraordinary individual in the real estate industry who has fought the battle against cancer and won. This year’s award was presented to Renee Davy. Davy, very much humbled by this honor, spoke briefly about her personal journey as a breast cancer survivor.
The NOCBF was created in memory of Nancy Owens, a much-loved and well-respected icon in the Houston real estate industry. Owens lost her courageous 20-year battle with breast cancer in 2001. One of Owens’ final wishes, if she had survived her battle with cancer, was to dedicate a large part of her life to the fight against breast cancer.
The NOBCF committee is volunteer-driven and 100% of the proceeds are donated to local research projects.
NOBCF is one of the largest Realtor organized charities in Houston. The foundation is committed to raising funds to donate to local projects that further medical research toward the advancement of treatment and, hopefully, one day, a cure for breast cancer.
