Announcing Celebrate The Tatas 2026: October 3rd-4th, Huntersville NC!

In our 13th year of raising funds for life-saving mammograms, Celebrate the Tatas is proud to showcase the stories that inspire our mission. We honor those who have fought breast cancer - and those who have stood beside them: Mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, best friends, and caregivers who have walked this journey together. This year we invite you to share your story.  Tell us about your loved one.  Celebrate their strength.  Help us raise critical funds to ensure that more women have access to the mammograms that could save their lives. Together, let's turn our stories into action - and hope!  Please give generously.

In Memory of Sandra Goldman

By: Talia Goldman

When we first met 16 years ago, I had no idea I was meeting someone who would become such an unforgettable part of my life. Sandra was a true partner in fundraising, in purpose, in laughter, and in making a difference wherever she went. 

From  the countless hours spent planning and creating Celebrate the Tatas  painting days, to radio interviews, to unforgettable moments at the  Ritz, to adventures in New Orleans and Vegas—every step of the journey  was brighter because of her. Together, we sent supplies to Israel,  cheered on race cars, and worked tirelessly to raise funds for wigs,  breast cancer research, and mammograms for uninsured women. She was also  a fierce advocate for patients and their families, always showing up  with compassion, strength, and an unwavering commitment to helping  others through life’s most difficult moments.

Sandra  was also a passionate proponent of early detection, always encouraging  women to get their mammograms and take charge of their health.

But what stands out most isn’t just what she did—it’s how she did it.

Sandra  brought an energy that was contagious, a smile that could light up any  room, and a heart that never stopped giving—even while facing her own  battle with breast cancer.

This past year, Sandra passed away, leaving a profound void in my life and in the lives of so many who loved her.

Her  legacy lives on in every life she touched, every woman she helped, and  every moment of joy she created. Her spirit will always be present in  every cause she believed in and in the hearts of those who had the  privilege of knowing her.

Raising  funds for mammograms at Celebrate the Tatas will continue to be a  meaningful part of her legacy—helping ensure that more women have access  to the care she so deeply believed in. In her memory, please consider  making a gift to continue the work she cared so deeply about.
