Thanks to community support, Carrabba’s Italian Grill has donated $35,000 to the Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of triple-negative breast cancer. The check presentation was held at the Carrabba’s in East Brunswick on April 18, 2024.

Carrabba’s Italian Grill has a personal connection to the triple negative disease, which has affected two members of its marketing department: Marketing Manager Amanda Hopper, who was diagnosed with TNBC in 2023, and Head of Marketing Bronze Major, who lost a relative to the disease.

Triple negative breast cancer is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer in which all three receptor tests come back negative. It differs from other types of invasive breast cancer in that it tends to grow and spread faster, has fewer treatment options, and tends to have a worse prognosis. The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation is a credible source for triple negative breast cancer information, a catalyst for science and patient advocacy and a caring community with meaningful services for patients and their families. One hundred percent of the donations received from Trios for a Cure will help fund triple negative breast cancer research.
