It was a privelege to be able to serve our Hawaiian community together with the NBCF through Convoy of Hope 2012. NBCF was very organized with friendly staff and leadership; the local staff was able to communicate well with them before the event took place. I believe they had a big and positive impact to the women who were taught for the first time on how to self exam. I also thought it was very generous of Queens Medical Center to work with NBCF, providing free mammograms for those women in need.

I have been working with the National Breast Cancer Foundation as a corporate partner since 2010 and have been very impressed with the work they are doing. I was initially drawn to their organization because of the emphasis on a wide variety of services for the community, including mammograms for lower income women. In addition to working with the founation on fundraising efforts they have also been a big help with internal Breast Cancer Awareness programs we have run at our company that help support such initiatives as bringing a mammogram van to our corporate offices and distributing a variety of educational material to our employees. I would highly recommend the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

It was a wonderful experience to volunteer for this much needed service. Many women came through the tent in a steady stream showing they were concerned about their health. Hopefully some lives were saved because of this service.

We are extremely fortunate to receive funds from NBCF, it affords us the opportunity to provide screening mammographs to uninsured women, needing their annual screening. Twice a year we offer a "women's cancer expo", last fall a young woman came for a mammogram, unfortunately there had been some confusion in scheduling her, and the person at the registration table told her we would do her if time allowed. She immediately panicked, seeing her reaction she was referred to me (I'm the coordinator of the event). The look on her face, and fear/tears in her eyes told me that she "knew" she needed a mammogram. She had her husband and two children with her and had traveled 45 miles to come to our event. I asked her if she had felt a lump, she said "yes". I immediately told our "volunteer staff and physician", who took her in, did a clinical breast exam, determined she needed a "diagnostic mammogram" and our patient navigator worked with her to find a clinic in her area that would follow up with her. The look of appreciation and relief on her and her husbands face I will never forget. Fortunately it was a benign cyst, being able to tell her that she did not have cancer has been a highlight of my work. Thank you for allowing us to help this lady, and for all the women we have been able to diagnose at an early stage and assist.

I contacted National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc, to volunteer and help spread awareness to the public about breast cancer and early dectection to save lives through website, facebook, events and they told me I had to donate 5% minimum of any product if sold. I agreed with the 5% amount but they also wanted me to give them 500$ for 4 weeks. This charity is all about business and not helping people is unethical. This charity supposed to be NON profit organization but yet they charge money on top of the donations for volunteers to spread the word about breast cancer. this is a shame.

I really enjoyed serving with Convoy of a hope this year 2012!! I had a eye opening experience that there are a multitude of women that have never had monograms or even done self breast exams. The women that I spoke with were very interested and had a desire to take care of themselves. This was a journey for me to see what and where women see themselves. I also got to speak yo young girls about doing self breast exams and informing them how important it is to do it often. I realized the if the women in these young girls lives have never done exams before these girls were not being taught. It was a blessing to serve with you in educating women and young girls about Breast Cancer.

I am a cervical cancer surviver and was so blessed when I volunteered this year with NBCF and how they made me feel such a part of them. I would do it again in a heartbeat and I learned a lot about what to look for when doing self exams just because I volunteered. :-)

Over the past several years the National Breast Cancer Foundation has provided funds to the Alabama Breast and Cervical Early Detection Program to help underserved women receive mammograms. Through this Foundation, the program is able to ensure women age 40-49 with no insurance and a low income receive free breast cancer screening services. Without their funds, women in this age group would not be able to access this life-saving service. Alabama appreciates the National Breast Cancer Foundation and its commitment to provide mammograms to underserved women."

This charity puts out information that is incorrect in their "After the Shock" video and does not respond to breast cancer survivors. They market this misinformation to nurses, yet essentially plagarize other sites for the content, which is incorrect. Who needs subsidized mammograms with the affordable care act and the federal programs that are in place? Where does the 11 million go? Why won't they respond to legitimate questions from breast cancer survivors and health care professionals. I am an expert in the field of lymphedema, and their statement, now finally retracted, that it lasts 6-12 weeks is just plain wrong
