Why I am Participating:

My name is Joanna Gruver, and I am the owner of Jo & Co. Jewelers, Smith Mountain Lake.   My personal life and my business life have been blessed by the relationships and the love I've been surrounded by.  In those relationships, I've known many people who have battled breast cancer. Some won their battle, and sadly, some did not.  I want to make a difference in this fight.  In honor of friends I’ve lost and in the hopes that our efforts will make a difference in the lives of friends, family, and possibly even my own.

What is a Sole Star?

The Sole Stars campaign engages leaders in our communities as representatives in the fight against breast cancer.  During the month-long campaign, each Sole Star will raise or give a minimum of $1,000, which will be used to support the work of the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation (VBCF.) The money raised through the Roanoke Sole Stars campaign will pay for breast health services like diagnostic mammograms, MRIs, ultrasounds and biopsies for uninsured and underinsured women in Southwest Virginia.

Sole (noun): the undersurface of a shoe; the sole is meant to provide footwear with the necessary support, giving traction and protection from the surfaces it will be in contact with.  

Star (noun): a celebrated, prominent or distinguished person; synonym: VIP · (very) important person.

VBCF Sole Star (noun): a very important person providing support for our mission to eradicate breast cancer by raising awareness and funds in their community and providing traction for our mission; willing to have fun while wearing awesome pink shoes!
