Our vision: A world without breast cancer

In the News

Making a global impactMaking a global impact
As 2008 comes to a close, we reflect on that fact that we’ve made a lot of progress in breast cancer in the United States. Unfortunately in many areas around the world, breast cancer mortality remains unacceptably high with a woman dying from breast cancer every 75 seconds. That's why we've been expanding our mission to include awareness and programs in 50 countries including the Bahamas, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ghana, Tanzania and the Middle East. You can help us continue making a difference in 2009.

What's Up?

Breast cancer thrives in a bad economyBreast cancer thrives in a bad economy When there’s no money to continue groundbreaking research, it’s easier for breast cancer to do its deadly work. Help us in our efforts to stop breast cancer by raising $100 million for research that can save millions of lives. Make an investment in life by making a gift today.
