The foundation raises funds to provide women battling cancer an opportunity to be a rock star for a day and to focus on themselves as they face their very difficult health crisis.
The Carol Galvin Foundation was established by her son, New York City firefighter, Rick Galvin, who lost his mother to cancer at age 11. Carol's battle with cancer lasted four years. Because of his youth and the stress of watching a loved one die, Rick was not at his mother's bedside on the night she passed. The guilt over not being there has haunted him ever since.
Said Galvin, "As the years went by I struggled with the fact that I wasn't there when my mom passed. I needed, and wanted, to make it up to her but I had no idea what to do. Instead I drank to hide the pain and to try to forget. When I became a New York City firefighter I decided to participate in fundraising runs held by various cancer organizations. I would run in my full firefighter gear as a way to punish myself while showing support to those who battle cancer every day. I was glad to be able to raise funds and bring attention to those organizations, but I realized that I wanted to do more.
"My mother was the type of woman who would put the needs of her family ahead of her own. I wanted to establish a foundation that would keep her memory alive and at the same time help other women like her. I wanted to give women battling cancer a night where they would be treated like a rock star. To walk the red carpet, speak, perform or just attend an event where they could feel the support of, not only their loved ones, but complete strangers as well. I also wanted to be able to provide them with a financial gift to pay their bills or take a trip or whatever they wanted to use it for. That is exactly what the Carol Galvin Foundation New York Fashion Week Gala does."
