On Nov 22, UBCF will host its free Mattress Giveaway in Louisville, Kentucky. The event provides queen-size therapeutic mattresses at no cost to qualified and pre-approved recipients, offering comfort and relief to those affected by breast cancer.

Date: Saturday, November 22, 2025

Location: Mall St. Matthews, Louisville, KY

Recipients: Breast cancer patients and survivors (Kentucky residency not required)

Application process: https://ubcf.org/kentucky/

UBCF extends heartfelt thanks to Brookfield Properties for donating the event space at Mall St. Matthews, making this important community effort possible.

A special thank-you also goes to the Derby City Dragons, Louisville's breast cancer survivor dragon boat team, for coordinating volunteers and lending their spirit of collaboration and teamwork to the event.

Kentucky continues to face significant challenges when it comes to breast cancer:

Kentucky remains among the states with the highest overall cancer rates in the U.S., according to Advisory Board.

Breast cancer accounts for about 30% (or 1 in 3) of all new cancers diagnosed in women in the U.S. each year as reported by ACS.

For patients battling breast cancer, restorative sleep plays a crucial role in healing, recovery, and emotional health. By providing high-quality therapeutic mattresses, UBCF helps relieve one of the many burdens faced by survivors and those in treatment, allowing both patients and survivors to rest and recover more comfortably.

"I wanted to… reach out directly and express how much it truly means to me to go to sleep more comfortably at night without the aches and pains I experienced before getting my new mattress.
