The 16th Annual Not My Daughter…find a cure now! Shopping Boutique & Luncheon Returns October 27 with Celebrity Chef Joy Bauer.
Mark your calendars and bring your friends — the 16th Annual Not My Daughter…find a cure now! Shopping Boutique and Luncheon is back and sweeter than ever! Taking place on Monday, October 27, 2025, at the Fort Lauderdale-Coral Springs Marriott at Heron Bay, this year’s milestone event will blend shopping, inspiration, and heartfelt community support — all in the name of fighting breast cancer and protecting future generations.
Kicking off at 10 AM, the event features a vibrant shopping boutique with over 40 unique vendors, followed by a 12 PM luncheon headlined by a very special guest — NBC Today Show’s celebrity chef and wellness expert Joy Bauer!
This “Sweet 16” celebration honors the extraordinary achievements of the Not My Daughter…find a cure now! movement, while recognizing the critical ongoing need for breast cancer support and research funding.
“It’s the sweet 16 for Not My Daughter…find a cure now!,” says founder and president Denyse Hostig. “A combination of the sweet — to celebrate the great accomplishments the organization and the community have achieved over the years — but bittersweet, because there is still such a need for this support. Our goal is to eradicate cancer before it reaches the next generation.”
Since its inception, Not My Daughter has raised substantial funds for breast cancer research and patient support services, including the establishment of the Not My Daughter Support Center at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Plantation, FL — a resource offering critical psychological and ancillary care to patients and families. The organization also actively funds research aimed at screening and supporting pre-vivors — individuals at high risk for developing breast cancer.
Jody Sternfield, co-chair and founding committee member, shares: “Not My Daughter has raised funds and awareness, and we are eager for the event to share in the community care and support, while enjoying a special day to celebrate the future together.”
