Some recognition means a little more because of the journey behind it.
Drift Float Rehoboth owner Heather Rowe has been named the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition’s 2026 Sussex County Volunteer of the Year.
Heather first connected with DBCC following her own breast cancer diagnosis five years ago. What began as a source of support became a community, and eventually, a commitment to helping other survivors find that same connection.
“Instead of asking, ‘How do I get through this?’ I found myself asking, ‘How can I help someone else get through it?’”
That commitment continues today through Heather’s work with DBCC and in the community she is building at Drift.
We’re proud to celebrate Heather and this well-deserved recognition.And to our cancer thrivers and survivors, stay tuned. Heather and Drift are planning something especially for you this October in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Congratulations, Heather!
