In this heartfelt episode of Connecting Through Cancer, host Kayla Keenan shares the powerful mission and inspiration behind INDY Foundation’s signature Valentine’s event: Babes, Wine & Galentines.

This annual celebration, now in its fourth year, is dedicated to honoring Minnesota’s cancer warriors—women who are navigating or have survived cancer. More than just a fun night out, this event is a moving blend of community, compassion, confidence, and connection.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The story behind the Babes, Wine & Galentines event and why it matters
• How local businesses like White Peony Boutique are helping warriors reclaim their confidence
• The emotional impact of the makeover experience on women battling cancer
• A behind-the-scenes look at the transformations, tears, and triumphs
• How community support, sponsorships, and volunteers make this night possible
• Ways you can get involved, attend, or support this cause

Whether you're a supporter of cancer nonprofits, a lover of Galentine’s events, or someone who believes in the power of women supporting women, this episode will inspire you to lead with love and take action.
