2025-2026 Unite for HER Honorees

Community Partner Award: Fred Beans

Each October, the Fred Beans team leads a powerful campaign—donating a percentage of car sales to Unite for HER while educating customers and the broader community about our mission—turning awareness into meaningful support for individuals with breast and ovarian cancers. Throughout this campaign over the past few years, they have raised over $50,000 to benefit Unite for HER’s wellness programs. Their commitment continues all year, with generous backing of our Bloom Fashion Show and consistent support across events. Fred Beans exemplifies what it means to step up for community and champion true philanthropy.

Corporate Partner Award: Novartis

Novartis has been instrumental in helping Unite for HER to launch and sustain the Empowered Living Program (ELP), which supports over 5,000 individuals with breast and ovarian cancers.

The patient advocacy leadership team has been extraordinary—always seeking alignment between the UFH mission and their goals to create a comprehensive plan that maximizes impact. Their dedication, collaborative spirit, and innovative support have truly transformed the lives of Unite for HER’s program members.

Their commitment exemplifies what it means to serve with purpose and heart.

Spirit of Service Award: Fran Sieber

Fran Sieber has been a consistent, reliable volunteer with Unite for HER for over five years.  Fran advocates for Unite for HER in the community and volunteers in the UFH office weekly.

Fran and her “Thursday Crew” volunteer teammates are dedicated to the UFH mission and, under the leadership of Alex Scipione, Care Box Administrator, have never missed a weekly shipment of patient care boxes. She always takes pride in her work and Unite for HER is fortunate to have such a dedicated volunteer.

Student Spirit of Service Award: Dance for HER

Led by Christine Kozsuch, Dance for HER is an annual dance showcase that unites West Chester University students, faculty, alumni, local studios, and dancers’ families and friends in support of Unite for HER. 100 percent of proceeds of this event benefit Unite for HER, and studios and dancers raise funds throughout the year to support Unite for HER. Since its inaugural showcase in 2021, Dance for HER has raised over $65,000 (and growing) to directly breast and ovarian cancer patients. We are proud to honor Dance for HER’s leadership, artistry, and generosity.
