This month with your help, we are supporting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
The mission of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) is to prevent and cure breast cancer by
advancing the world's most promising research. The only way to achieve
this goal is through research. Research is revolutionizing our understanding of
cancer. Research is leading us to the core of this insidious disease. Research
is transforming lives every day as women and men get the help they need. They
believe research—and research alone—has the power to bring an end to cancer. They
have more than 275 researchers urgently working on solutions to one of the
world’s greatest problems.
Since their founding in 1993 by Evelyn H.
Lauder, BCRF has raised more than half a billion dollars
for lifesaving research. Through a unique and streamlined grants program,
they seek out the brightest minds in science and medicine and give them the
necessary resources to pursue their best ideas. As a result, researchers are
able to make discoveries and design new approaches to address all aspects of
breast cancer—and do so in record time.
Breast cancer knows no age, gender, or race. As the most
common cancer in women worldwide and the second most common cancer overall, it
remains a fact of life. The thousands of women
and men suffering from breast cancer today depend on us. No institution can
conquer this disease alone. Together, we can.
