The Lee Ann Foundation

Supporting Breast Cancer Patients in the Ohio Valley

Our Mission

The Lee Ann Foundation is committed to providing essential support to breast cancer patients.

We help cover the costs that insurance often overlooks—prescription co-pays, transportation, wigs, and more. Additionally, we offer financial assistance to families facing unemployment while caring for loved ones during hospital stays.

Together, we ensure that no one fights alone.

Join the fight

Your support can change a life today.

About
Lee Ann

Lee Ann Schambach was a beloved educator, a devoted mother, and a pillar of her community.

Known for her kindness, patience, and strength, she touched countless lives. Even as she faced inflammatory breast cancer with unwavering courage, Lee Ann’s smile and spirit never dimmed. In her honor, the Lee Ann Foundation was created to continue her legacy of helping others.

About the Foundation

The Lee Ann Foundation for Victims of Breast Cancer Fund was established by the Schambach family at the CFOV in 2009 in memory of Lee Ann Schambach, who lost her battle with breast cancer. 

The fund makes grants to Wheeling Health Right to support breast cancer patients with costs associated with treatment, including prescription co-pays, transportation to/from treatments, wigs, and other essential needs.
