Empowering Women in the Fight Against Breast Cancer
The board members and officers of The Wendy Larks Foundation welcome you and thank you for visiting our site.
Wendy Larks lived her life with courage and passion, and filled the lives of those around her with laughter. She had a radiant smile and an unforgettable laugh. Wendy was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 30. After battling it into remission, the cancer metastasized to her liver over 4 years later. She fought for her life with every ounce of her strength. At age 35 Wendy was taken from us.
In Wendy’s memory her family and friends founded The Wendy Larks Foundation. The mission of the Foundation, as was Wendy’s in life, is to promote cancer awareness and to support the mental, physical and emotional well being of cancer victims. We have chosen 3 major areas for our focus
To achieve these ends The Wendy Larks Foundation conducts various fund raising activities including fund raising affairs, direct solicitation, and sale of cancer related items. The Wendy Larks Foundation is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) corporation. Our FEIN is 16-1617817. All activities of the Foundation are done by unpaid volunteers so that every penny donated to us goes to achieve our goals. To help us by volunteering or to donate contact us at:

Even if you did not know Wendy, chances are you know, or will know someone with breast cancer during your lifetime. Join us, help change our world… We can’t do it without you and we wouldn’t want to
