Carol Garcia, chair of the South Placer UCD Breast Cancer Endowment, was announced as a winner of Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs' "Celebrating Extraordinary Women" contest, which searched for women who have made significant contributions to friends, family, community and society. As a breast cancer survivor and activist, Garcia is a role model for other cancer victims and survivors. She founded the endowment to raise $1.5 million by 2010 to endow the breast cancer research chair at UC Davis Cancer Center. To date, over $500,000 has been raised from individual donations and special events held throughout the community.
