Inspiring Life Together (ILT), a local organization that supports moms and their families affected by breast cancer, has been selected as the 2025 beneficiary for the third annual WICKED Boobie Bash, hosted by Dr. Robyn Roth.
The event will be held at The Legacy Club in Cherry Hill on Saturday, Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m., and will include a hot pink carpet, a champagne wall, a DJ and a live auction.
“I’m looking forward to the hugs and the laughter and the joy that that room will have that night,” said Spring Williams, ILT’s founder and president.
“I’m looking forward to the vision becoming a reality,” Roth noted. “So many people have helped to make this event a success, so I’m just looking forward to it coming to fruition.”
Roth – a diagnostic radiologist specializing in women’s imaging at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper University Hospital – started the Boobie Bash as something of a dance party, a celebration of life. Since Williams has always shown her support for the fundraiser, it was a no-brainer to select ILT as this year’s beneficiary, according to Roth.
“I just saw how much good she does for the community and for parents that are undergoing breast cancer treatment and for their families, and she knows first hand how important that is because she’s been through it herself, which is why she decided to start this organization,” Roth said of Williams.
“I knew it was a full-circle moment to make Inspiring Life Together the beneficiary this year.”
A teacher at Moorestown High School, Williams was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. Since then, she’s seen how fitness and mindfulness are necessary to thrive throughout treatment. That realization – along with the support she’s received from the community – inspired her to create ILT.
The organization’s vision, according to its website, is to create a safe and empowering space where women undergoing treatment, as well as those in the post-treatment phase, come together to thrive. ILT offers a balanced approach to wellness by extending invitations to social activities that provide nutritional and fitness support, along with mental and emotional resilience strategies.
“We really want to grow deep with the mothers that we serve and their children, so that comes with support from our community,” Williams pointed out. “With being selected as the beneficiaries this year of the Boobie Bash, it will allow us to have a bigger impact.”
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women across the U.S.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the U.S. Estimates for this year are:
- About 316,950 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
- About 59,080 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) will be diagnosed.
- About 42,170 women will die from breast cancer.
Overall, the average risk of a woman in the U.S. developing breast cancer sometime in her life is about 13%. That means there is a one in eight chance she will develop the disease, but it also means there is a seven in eight chance she won’t.
“Most people who develop breast cancer don’t have any family history or genetic mutation,” Roth explained, “so it’s important for everyone to be self-aware and to stay up to date on their breast cancer screenings.”
“Sometimes we can ignore things that come up in our bodies, we can ignore what we feel, we can ignore how we feel, but if something seems off or you see changes that are not normal, go and talk to your doctor,” Williams advised.
