The Breast Cancer Resource Center of Santa Barbara (BCRC) has announced its relocation to 100 N. Hope Avenue, Ste. 1, Santa Barbara, along with a renewed three-year funding commitment from RevitaLash Cosmetics.

“Together, these developments strengthen the organization’s ability to provide free programs and services to individuals affected by breast cancer across the Santa Barbara community,” BCRC officials said. “The new Hope Avenue location will offer an accessible and welcoming space for clients, volunteers, and community partners.”

The move supports BCRC’s continued delivery of peer counseling, support groups, lay patient navigation, educational programs, and wellness resources that uplift and inspire individuals throughout their breast cancer treatment and survivorship.

RevitaLash Cosmetics’ three-year commitment will help sustain these programs and ensure continued access to care for individuals navigating diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, BCRC said.

“The support is part of the company’s Eternally Pink pledge, an initiative honoring the courage and strength of co-founder Gayle Brinkenhoff and women everywhere by supporting breast cancer awareness, research, and education initiatives year-round, not just during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October,” according to BCRC.

The Eternally Pink pledge reflects a lasting commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer.

“Relocating to our new space while securing this continued funding allows us to better meet the needs of our community. We are grateful for dedicated partners like RevitaLash Cosmetics, whose commitment makes this work possible,” said Silvana Kelly, BCRC executive director.

Founded in 1997, BCRC has served the Santa Barbara community for nearly three decades, acting as a bridge to helping individuals move from fear to hope, from diagnosis to survivorship, and from isolation to community, the organization said.

“We work in emotions, creating safe spaces where people are seen, heard, and supported through every stage from diagnosis to survivorship and loss,” Kelly said.

“We work in truth, offering honest education and peer guidance to empower informed decisions. And we work in hope, not false promises, but the real hope that comes from knowing you are not alone,” Kelly said.
