"We can help more directly than other charities that give to research," said Marianne Ecanosti, who co-founded North Jersey's Wayne-based chapter in 2010. "We want people to know we're thre for them individually and directly."

The 11 a.m. event was spearheaded by Councilman Carlos Rendo, whose mother-in-law battled breast cancer.

"We need to support our sisters, mothers, and mother-in-laws to fight this disease because it destroys a family," Rendo said. "I wanted to have an event in support of breast cancer research and development."
