Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer was founded in 2000 by Carol Brownman Sneider in memory of her mother, Eva Brownman, who lost her battle with breast cancer.
Since its inception the event has raised more than $700,000 for breast cancer research and care at the Susan F.
Smith Center for Women's Cancers at Dana-Farber through the Eva Brownman Research Fund currently under the direction of Eric Winer, MD.
The 15th annual Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer is dedicated to the late Ella Mermelstein, whose daughter, Suzanne owns, Mariposa Bakery in Cambridge and has participated in Boston Bakes for many years.
Ella died at age 34 after a five-year battle with breast cancer.
