Breast Cancer Prevention Partners

As a dedicated nonprofit whose mission is to improve breast cancer research into the environmental causes of breast cancer, I believe in BCPP. I think it’s a very worthy and important cause.

I’m so impressed by the work and mission of BCPP. Exposing the cause is the cure and I appreciate the organization taking the issue upstream to look at the root causes of breast cancer.

BCPP is great organization. It not only advocates policy changes to help in the prevention of breast cancer but also provides the community with very educational materials about environmental factors and toxic chemicals that are linked to breast cancer. BCPP has a small but very dedicated and hardworking staff who put in a lot of their own time and effort to facilitate the organization's mission. Thank you so much BCPP for the impactful work that you do to make the world a better place for all of us.

The heart, the authenticity, the crucial work, the wise stewardship by management, the tenacity and the effectiveness of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners puts them in a league of their own as far as non-pofit organizations stand. I have whole-heartedly supported them for decades because i believe they are making a major difference in the mission to find and eliminate the causes of this disease that affects so many women and families.

Love this group's mission to bring awareness to harmful chemicals in everyday consumer products. They also do great work at the state level helping to influence policy to make things safer for consumers. I'm a proud financial supporter of their work.

A few years ago, a friend told me about Breast Cancer Prevention Partners and the importance of PREVENTION. While there are many breast cancer organizations out there, I found BCPP to be truly unique and highly impactful as they leverage science, policy, and education to create meaningful change. Most breast cancer charities focus on early detection and research for a cure, but BCPP is the only one solely focused on stopping this disease BEFORE it even starts. They have taught me that eliminating environmental exposures like toxic chemicals in our everyday products can help save many lives. I plan to continue donating and supporting BCPP for years to come.

I continue to be amazed by this organization's ability to create powerful change with so few employees. It is truly remarkable how they are able to educate, enact laws and protect consumers with such a small but mighty crew.

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners is the top breast cancer charity I trust and believe in. As a young woman, I've been well equipped over the years with BCPP's consumer-friendly tips and resources that help reduce my risk of the disease. Thank you for all you do to protect people and the planet, BCPP!

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP) is nothing short of extraordinary. This organization tackles breast cancer at its roots by focusing on prevention—a mission that is as powerful as it is essential. Instead of just addressing the disease after diagnosis, BCPP works tirelessly to eliminate toxic chemicals and environmental exposures that contribute to breast cancer.

What sets BCPP apart is its unwavering commitment to creating a healthier, safer world for everyone. Their advocacy for stricter regulations, scientific research, and education is transforming industries and influencing legislation. I was especially moved by their dedication to empowering communities, particularly those who are most vulnerable and disproportionately impacted by environmental toxins.

BCPP’s work is not just about prevention—it’s about giving hope. They empower people to make informed choices about the products they use and the environments they live in. The stories of women whose lives have been positively impacted by BCPP’s efforts are deeply inspiring.

This organization is a beacon of hope, innovation, and advocacy. If you're looking for a cause to support, or a nonprofit to champion, BCPP is it. Their work has real impact, and their mission is one we should all rally behind.

BCPP equips academicians like me with the messaging behind the science that aids people in making safer choices, reducing their exposure to toxic chemicals and helping the and their families live healthier lives.

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners is dedicated to eliminating toxins and cancer-causing chemicals in our environment. This is so important, so we can prevent cancer rather than having to treat cancer. Breast Cancer Prevention Partners provides vital information for the public on their website (bcpp.org), and through talks, and champions causes to eliminate our risks. This includes eliminating endocrine disrupting chemicals from our personal care products, baby products, and, most recently, in IV bags and tubing. I am so proud to be part of such an amazing organization.

It is amazing how much BCPP accomplishes on a pretty tight budget. They have gained tremendous influence in the environmental health and justice communities, because of their vast experience and effectiveness.

BCPP is such a trustworthy and amazing organization of dedicated, well-intentioned people doing their best to contribute to a better world. I heard of BCPP about 5 years ago and they've become my go-to nonprofit organization to support. I've participated in some of their yearly awareness hikes (and gotten some amazing freebie goodies from their partner brands), attended a beautiful fundraising gala in SF to hear their story and stories of others' experience and dedication to breast cancer, and subscribe to their monthly emails that tell me about body-safe and environmentally friendly brands for cosmetics, skincare, bags, and clothes. Supporting BCPP has given me greater awareness and knowledge on how to increase my safety, self-awareness, and self-care. This is an organization that has got your back and is really looking out for its people (the world)!

BCPP is so critical to saving lives reducing toxins in the environment through public education, science, corporate involvement and legislative influence. Recently they've made a huge push for environmental justice. A small staff is able to accomplish so, so much~

When BCPP was founded, it was ahead of its time. They are the first and only organization looking at the primary prevention of breast cancers, which gives me hope for the future. As a new mom, I'm glad to know BCPP serves as a watchdog to ensure the products my family uses are safer.

They do very important work by conducting research, bringing awareness and helping push for legislation in order to remove harmful chemicals from our food and cosmetics.

I became involved with this nonprofit when I saw a post for an fundraiser that included a climb of Mt. Shasta. While me interest was sparked due to the mountain climb., the focus quickly switched to the incredible work this organization is doing to forward the conversation on preventing breast cancer due to environmental exposure. I've not found another organization where PREVENTION is the focus. This team brings such passion to their work which had lead to significant changes in the way some industries do business. For example, REI will no longer carry clothing containing PFAs (forever chemicals linked to cancer). State laws were passed banning toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde and mercury from cosmetics. BCPP played a significant role in these major changes, and continue to be a leading research and advocacy organization building a safer future decreasing the odds of 1 in 8 women being diagnosed with breast cancer.

Great group of like minded accepting individuals who are dedicated to the abatement of harmful chemicals and substances that are proven to be harmful and toxic to humanity.

BCPP is a great organization, run by wonderful and capable people, and I’m grateful for the work that they do.

I went on the Climb Against The Odds trek on Mt. Shasta with this organization this year. I was so impressed with the education and preparation given in advance of this challenge. These people truly punch above their weight in what they have been able to accomplish. As a breast cancer survivor, I am grateful for all this organization does.

BCPP is an amazing place to work. Since I began, I have been very impressed by the dedication, expertise, and passion that the employees, board members, and advisors all have- many of whom have been in their position for over a decade. BCPP has worked tirelessly to conduct science-based advocacy and It is rare to encounter a group that has been so successful in legislating chemical regulation and working towards ending toxic trespass. They are true to their name and created many partnerships allowing them to build a movement of mass action with a clear message that toxic chemicals do not belong in our environment. Thank you, BCPP!

I support Breast Cancer Prevention Partners because its dedicated action-oriented staff are strong advocates for my health, and environmental and social justice, and empower us to make safer choices about products used in daily life. I see the results of my donations in the BCPP research that enables me to constantly learn how to live a longer healthier life and inform others. Supporting BCPP means tracing preventable causes of cancer (e.g., BPA and PFAS, fragrance) to the source and eliminating them! Also, I know from participating in Climb Against the Odds and every New England Peaks for Prevention, BCPP builds communities of people who provide vibrant support networks for each other. I'm thankful to be part of the BCPP community and encourage you to join it by providing your support too!

I learned about Breast Cancer Prevention Partners in the ‘90s, a few months after I was treated for breast cancer at the age of 35. My sister (also a breast cancer survivor) went on a river trip that was a fundraiser for BCPP. I have remained involved with this stellar organization in various ways over the years. I am grateful for BCPP’s focus on prevention. I know about 15% of breast cancers are genetic, but my sister and I have both been tested multiple times and there is no genetic indication. So we fall among the majority of woman whose breast cancer is attributed to other factors. BCPP’s policy wins have led to real changes that will save lives. The organization’s list of accomplishments is long—and meaningful, not just to my sister and me, but to everyone at risk. Last summer, my wife—whose mother is a breast cancer survivor—climbed Mount Shasta in support of BCPP. We will continue to sing the organization’s praises for the rest of our beautiful lives.

I participated in BCPP’s Climb Against the Odds fundraiser. If you are looking for a charity that uses science as the foundation for their work to prevent breast cancer, this is the one! They are a small but mighty organization delivering results. Your Donated dollar is spent on their work since there is not a significant amount of overhead.

BCPP is a powerful advocate for the environment and societies well-being! I was present at the 2022 Climb Against The Odds and each individual was met with open arms and an educated team. This organization is very thorough and tackles even the hardest problems forced onto society in order to ensure ours and future generations are safe. I'm very thankful for all the hard work they take care of!

I have participated in yearly events benefiting BCPP since 2014. Every event has been extremely well run and I have been supported every step of the way! Through these events I have learned a lot about the organization, and this has made me want to support BCPP even more. Through their education, advocacy and research, BCPP is making a difference in the world with their focus on prevention of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners is the best breast cancer organization! I often check their website and social for the latest science linking cancer to environmental exposures. I love that I can take their advocacy actions to make real change happen. Keep up the incredible work, BCPP!

BCPP works to reduce environmental and occupational exposures to chemicals associated with increased risk of breast cancer and other cancers. There is increasing evidence that these same chemicals are also associated with many other adverse health outcomes such as obesity, gestational diabetes, reduced semen quality, and thyroid dysfunction. I find it gratifying to support this groundbreaking organization that so effectively translates science into preventive health policy and advocacy.

I'm consistently astounded by the major progress and impact that BCPP has made in the arenas of corporate responsibility and political action. This small but mighty team has been able to make strides at removing toxics in our daily lives with a foundation in science. Not to mention, their events as so much fun and expose the community to the beauties of nature! I'm so grateful for the work that they do!

BCPP is one of the most supportive organizations I have come across in my career. They are a powerhouse of knowledge and compassion and fight for public health every single day. Every single employee has such an impressive background and the culture is very uplifting. It's so rare to work at a such a prestigious company that truly values each and every individual while also creating tremendous changes to public health policy. I am honored to be a BCPP employee and show the world what we can accomplish!

I've never experienced an organization so passionate as indivuduals to share the message and tools of prevention. The science-based advocacy is second to none.

BCPP has made a positive impact on public health for three decades now and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Using science-backed evidence to advance state, federal and corporate policies, BCPP protects the public's health and quality of life including that of the most vulnerable populations. I continued to be impressed by the growing list of achievements by the BCPP team.

I recently interned over the summer with Breast Cancer Prevention Partners and can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've had as an intern. Everyone I interacted with was warm and welcoming and helped me to get acclimated to the work I was going to be doing. I was most impressed with how dedicated the team was to making a difference in the lives of others by making the environment a safer and healthier place for people. While they are influencing policy and helping to pass important bills, there is also a major focus on education and outreach especially in communities who have higher rates of breast cancer. Everything decision made and fact published is based on science, and the organization stays up to date with the newest evidence and even helps to collaborate on research. Overall, this is a great organization filled with passionate people dedicated to making the world a better and safer place.

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners is such an amazing organization that has accomplished so much for the public. As a team, they have set purposeful goals with strong intentions to move our society forward into a safer environment and future. BCPP covers all the bases to raise awareness about breast cancer risks/exposures and make change using several communication strategies for different audiences, such as the general public/consumers, public health policies, and fundraisers. It is remarkable that BCPP makes certain all their efforts are backed up with science, to ensure accurate decisions are made to help reduce the prevalence rates of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners is doing amazing, impactful work in all of the spaces they occupy! From science based-education, policy advocacy, and conducting projects that address important issues related to breast cancer, the breadth and scope of work that BCPP is able to accomplish is nothing short of incredible. Even with a small team, BCPP is able to make a big impact in the field of breast cancer prevention, and the dedication and passion of the staff comes through in all of the work they do. I am so very grateful for all of the hard work that this organization does, and I know they will continue to do great things in the future!

I recently participated in the 2021 Climb Against The Odds at Mount Shasta. I helped to raise money for BCPP and was able to meet a number of amazing people who have all been affected by breast cancer in some way. Each individual I met had a special story and contributed something to the team. Everyone I met is absolutely passionate about what they do in working to prevent breast cancer.

As a member of BCPP's 2020 Climb Against the Odds team, I raised thousands of dollars for BCPP's work. They're a detail-oriented, thoughtful organization who are committed to doing work that counts.

I participated in BCPP's 2021 Climb Against The Odds and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The leadership in this organization is second to none. BCPP has an amazing mission with a phenomenal team to back it. They have accomplished so many great things in regard to providing education and reducing the use of toxic materials in commonly used household items, ultimately aiding in preventing breast cancer that is associated with this toxic materials. This is a foundation very close to my heart and one that I will continue to follow and support for many years to come.

I had a wonderful experience with the BCPP. They were organized, professional, welcoming and kind. I felt good about supporting this cause and left the experience a better person.

My eldest daughter introduced me to BCPP a few years back and WOW...they completely amaze me. I've learned so much through their website and resources about environmental exposures and breast cancer. From making lifestyle and product changes, to reading in-depth science reports, to taking action and hiking for prevention, I'm all in as a BCPP supporter. As a mother of four daughters, I know that by donating to their work I'm helping create a better world for my girls.

I first learned about Breast Cancer Prevention Partners in 2003, when San Francisco introduced the Precautionary Principle. BCPP, then Breast Cancer Fund, was actively involved in drafting this ordinance. In the absence of conclusive evidence, “the burden lies with the producer to prove” a product is safe. For me, it just struck a chord and made so much sense. BCPP has also been instrumental in passing laws, which remove harmful chemicals from products. (When was the last time you bought a containing BPA?) Why is it that chemicals in beauty products are banned in the EU, but sold in the US? And the chemicals in the US-sold products are linked to cancer. The thing I appreciate the most about Breast Cancer Prevention Partners *is* their focus on prevention.

BCPP is a leader in science based advocacy to PREVENT breast cancer. The organization is small but mighty in all the great work they do to identify and eliminate environmental causes of this devastating disease. From education to state and federal laws that improve our health, they are an effective and tireless group. BCPP has just released the first of its kind breast cancer prevention plan for the state of California. I am very excited for the implementation of this plan which will be a model for all other states working to decrease rates of breast cancer.

I've been with this organization for over 9 years and I still cannot believe how effective we are given our size. We have changed the conversation on breast cancer prevention from purely looking at individual actions and genetics to looking at systemic interventions to reduce environmental exposures that are increasing the risk of breast cancer.

I first learned of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners after making a presentation to a group of 200, primarily African-American health care executives about the statistics that tell the story of health disparities - including the statistic that twice as many Black women die in the first five years post breast cancer diagnosis as White women. I drew attention to my personal story as a recent survivor of BC, and how my social determinants of health provided access to extraordinary care, in contrast to those who may lack the access to high quality health care providers, timely treatment, adequate insurance and all of the social supports required to work through difficult treatment. A member of the audience was a Board Member of BCPP, and after interviewing and proper vetting, I was invited to join the board. After spending 35+ years as a Principal at Deloitte, the largest professional services firm in the world where our high achieving people are our strength, I am tremendously impressed with the quality of both the full-time staff and our volunteer scientific panel and Board at BCPP. This group of highly dedicated professional scientists, researchers, writers, policy and governmental experts and leaders, are making a tremendous impact on the science and legal framework for changing the direction of breast cancer from cure of an increasing epidemic, to prevention. BCPP's work to eliminate toxic substances from the environment, everyday products, and the workplace will bend the curve on today's norm of 1 in 8 women being diagnosed with breast cancer and with the health disparities in survival surrounding this disease. This is significant work we should all support, as the toxicants invading our food, water, household products, furniture, protective equipment and cosmetics cause not only breast cancer in women, but other cancers and diseases that impact all of us. BCPP's work improves our environment, the safety of our products, and public health while reducing health disparities. I am proud to work with BCPP, and choose to volunteer my time and my resources to this mighty team.

I couldn't be more proud of the strategic work that BCPP is championing at the intersection of prevention, social and environmental justice. The team maintains the utmost integrity, compassion and determination. I highly recommend getting involved with BCPP!

When I first found BCPP back in 2002 I had major aha moment. BCPP's mission connected the health of the planet to the health of its people. I considered myself an environmentalist, but this was the first time that connection was made for me, and to this day, I couldn't agree more! BCPP is a small, but mighty organization - punching above its weight to help prevent breast cancer by eliminating our exposures to toxic chemicals and radiation. The organization is a leader in the field and the impact of people's donations and support is healthier people and a more protected planet. BCPP's focus on legislative laws to protect us and market-based campaigns that educate us is the one-two punch needed to move the needle on reducing rates of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners is an amazing organization focused on prevention. I love that the work we do is rooted deeply in science. The organization is led by smart, engaged, and caring individuals who are focused on adovacy and eliminating enviornmental issues which impact women and men around the globe. The science forward approach coupled with strong partnerships allows BCPP to have a voice at the table on issues of policy and access to best practices that work. An informed agenda to help move us towards preventing this terrible disease.

I've served as a Board member for two plus years. I joined because BCPP is committed and focused on prevention; there is a void of other voices in the prevention space. BCPP's leadership at the state and national level as well as their influence and partnership with consumer corporations is impressive. Thier mission is aligned with my values. I want to stop cancer before it starts as too many women in my circle of family and friends have been impacted by breast cancer.

BCPP's expanded reach to communities of color (learn from and with) is inspiring. We know too often that communities of color are in many cases disportionately impacted when diagnosed and their survival rates are much lower than white women. Prevention and access to good healthcare is key.

I know that the work that BCPP advances makes an impact.

Every time I come in contact with the team at BCPP, I am blown away by what they are managing to accomplish with a relatively small staff. This organization is literally changing women's health as they fight and win to get harmful chemicals removed from our environment.

I have been a supporter of this organization for 26 years. They are great at informing the public about the toxics in our environment and in our everyday products that are linked to breast cancer. The information on the website and other communications is so informative, it has helped me change out my family's products and pushed me to support legislation that will eliminate these toxic exposures.

Too many women have lost their lives to breast cancer. With only 10% of women having a genetic connection, I truly believe our environment and the toxic chemicals we are exposed to DAILY play a major role. BCPP is the only organization that I trust to give my dollars to in order to stop this disease before it starts!

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners does a LOT of good work, especially considering how small the staff size is. They are one of the few breast cancer organizations focused on primary prevention of the disease (versus treatment and cures). 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than half of all breast cancers cannot be attributed to traditional risk factors (genetics, reproductive history and diet). Which means we need to look and see what environmental exposures are out there that are contributing to this disease.

Love how BCPP strongly ties their advocacy work with science. They've also created big changes over the years with their market-campaigns - like phthalates ban in kids toys and BPA removal from the majority of canned goods.

BCPP's scientific research cuts through a lot of the fake, the pseudo-science on the web, and gets real about the toxic chemicals that are scientifically proven to cause harm and increase breast cancer risk. Thanks BCPP!

I love BCPP! They are the only organization that focuses on breast cancer prevention and eliminating our toxic environmental exposures.

The Brain Cancer Fund is doing exceptional work by making prevention a public health priority. I applaud the efforts of the Breast Cancer Fund for making a real difference by focusing on big-picture solutions in efforts to sustain life. I am a firm believer in employing the precautionary principle because it is better to be safe than sorry.

The Breast Cancer Fund has focused for years on working towards eliminating environmental chemicals that are linked to breast cancer. Their State of the Evidence publication is a wealth of information. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics made the public aware of what toxic ingredients companies are using. As a lactation educator and breastfeeding advocate, I was involved with their efforts to establish a state biomonitoring program. This took 3 or 4 years of hard work, but it finally passed. I strongly believe in their focus on environmental toxins contributing to breast cancer. I appreciate their efforts to work towards our children not being exposed to chemicals through having safe toys and BPA-free products.
