BACKGROUND:
City Council Members Roger Gomez and Ted Hernandez are requesting $3,000 to
sponsor The Becky Baker Foundation's Giving Hearts event. The event will take place
from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays from November 20 to December

Club Manor Drive, Pueblo, 81008.
The Becky Baker Foundation is a 501(c)(3) whose mission is to change the national
conversation around breast cancer from awareness to prevention.
They provide free education on the factors that can lead to a breast cancer diagnosis,
including nutrition, stress, environment, and relationship dynamics, focusing on
expanding awareness and, more importantly, prevention. They also provide dedicated
Docusign Envelope ID: A0A73D4D-B899-8CCF-8170-B9E7C6014B5F
resources that meet the needs of those affected by breast cancer. A breast cancer
diagnosis is very expensive, even with quality health insurance. For the underinsured or
uninsured, a diagnosis can devastate the family. Mounting medical bills means many
families are unable to afford important necessities, such as clothing, shoes, household
items, personal care products, or baby and children's
items.
The Becky Baker Foundation has partnered with The United Breast Cancer Foundation
to help meet the needs of these families by creating the Becky Baker Foundation
Survivors Resource Center where these families are able to select from hundreds of
free items their families need, relieving some of the burden, fears, and
financial constraints facing those battling breast cancer.
Sponsorship funds will be used to provide supplies for their Giving Hearts event, where
children of breast cancer survivors are able to do holiday shopping for their family, have
their gifts wrapped, and visit with Santa, free of charge.
The estimated cost to hold the event is $56,651 and as of August 19, 2026, they had
$50,950 in committed donations. They also plan to apply for CSAC funds next year.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Payment of funds in the amount of $3,000 would be paid from the Council
Contingencies Account in the 2026 General Fund Budget to The Becky Baker
Foundation.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could choose not to authorize funding for this purpose.
RECOMMENDATION:
This Resolution is at the request of Council Members Roger Gomez and Ted
Hernandez.
