Promoting Breast Cancer Research
Gretchen Mathers was an operating partner at Schwartz Brothers Bakery and Gretchen’s. She was an early pioneer for women in business and a good friend to many. Gretchen was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1979, but she became a breast cancer survivor and went on to inspire and lead until her passing in 2007.
In Gretchen’s memory, we have provided support for organizations involved with breast cancer research and education, including Swedish Hospital Cancer Center, Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center, and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
You can help, too: Every time you buy a Schwartz Brothers Bakery Pink Cookie, we donate a portion of the proceeds to benefit breast cancer research—so you’ll be making a difference to the thousands of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
We also make in-kind donations to events for organizations involved with cancer research and education. If you work for one of these organizations, download our event support form for more information.
