Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Breast Cancer, Health, Health Support

Mission: The mission of National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is to provide help and inspire hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services. NBCF was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make decisions about her health with few options. After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. NBCF helps empower women with the information and resources to take charge of their breast health.

NBCF is amazing! They stand by their motto of "Helping Women Now" by "providing help and inspire hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services". They exude joy and enthusiasm whenever I volunteer, reach out to get aide for someone diagnosed with breast cancer, or when I create my own events for awareness. They are boots on the ground, hands on the plow kind of people and not just providing lip service - They are not about fanfare but help and results. NBCF will go to the moon and back to support one single person at a time. I am very fortunate to have connected with them and to be a part of a culture that I call the NBCF family.

Dear NBCF,

I would like to thank you for giving me opportunities to volunteer at NBCF. I was so impressed by my first time volunteering at packing party. I’ve never experienced the lively atmosphere; super friendly and helpful staff and the operation was so organized. At first, I thought I will be helping others, but I feel so blessed and more aware of my health and body. I had a chance to pray for those who were receiving gift boxes, and I was touched when I picked the most important thing to put in the box was the note of encouragement and prayers. I believe when a person is going through a difficult time, besides doctors, nurses & treatments, the prayers and words of encouragement lift the spirit up the most. Many thanks to NBCF helping thousands of women getting overcome the challenge of their lives, May God continue to bless you and keep NBCF going strong and extended out all over the world.

I was gifted a NBCF survivor box during my own journey of dealing with a DCIS diagnosis which was followed shortly after with a double mastectomy. Finding out I had BRCA just six years earlier, really left me in a position of lonliness. I wish I had found out about this organization sooner. There is so
Much great information I have learned particularly when I was working through what my “ideal” surgery was going to be. The box I received was wonderfully thoughtful, and each item in there was important for various reasons. I mostly enjoyed reading the note form another survivor that it encouraged me to become a note writer by default since I didn’t live near Frisco for on site volunteering. I am grateful for the NBCF organization and am impressed at how much they give back to our communities.

NBCF is my favorite place to volunteer my time. Not only is it for a good cause, but it is FUN! The staff is always so welcoming and appreciative of the volunteers. The location is convenient. It is a beautiful environment bursting with energy and positivism. The packing parties are enhanced with fun music. Smiles are everywhere. It is truly a day of sharing HOPE. And when I leave, my heart is full, and I am reminded to get my mammogram and do regular self-checks.

My family and I have been involved in breast cancer fundraising since 2009. We lost my wife in 2010 to the disease. About two years ago, I was introduced to National Breast Cancer Foundation and have been an active volunteer since then. The fact that "helping women now" as they go through the trials of dealing with the diagnosis and then subsequent treatments was what resonated with me the most. Having dealt with the trauma myself, this is something that I can identify with and support whole heartedly. There are other great organizations that raise money for research to help end breast cancer, but the fact that NBCF is meeting the immediate needs of women fighting the disease right now is a cause worth supporting. I encourage others to check out NBCF and get involved!

The love and caring demonstrated by all the employees and volunteers at NBCF is amazing! I hope to be able to volunteer in support of the mission for many years to come.

I have volunteered here for two years. Their packing parties are a lot of fun and the boxes you pack are in someone's hand that weekend. I have met several recipients of the box and they said it helped them get through the chemo treatments they were doing. They people are great and they are helping a lot of women get through a rough time in their lives.

I volunteered with several organizations before I found my “home” with NBCF. The moment my daughter and I stepped through the door it was clear how much we were appreciated, and I am honored to say that I have logged almost 400 hours volunteering with the organization since.
One of the first things that stood out was, as each employee was going about their day, they would stop as they were passing by and say “thank you” for being here (or something similar). And it was GENUINE. The staff play a vital role in making sure volunteers have a positive and rewarding experience, and they are one of the main reasons that we keep going back. They are incredibly helpful and supportive and ensure that every volunteer has an experience that is fulfilling and meaningful. Volunteering with NBCF has given me the opportunity to contribute to a cause I care about, be part of a supportive community, and meet the most wonderful people. It filled a space in my life that I did not know I needed. I am thankful to be a part of their volunteer organization and I think anyone reading this should join us! NBCF is truly amazing!

NBCF is a fantastic organization. They provide support both during and after treatment. They deliver Hope Kits to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients; at a time where it seems like everything is in chaos, they provide hope and support, and maybe even more important: community. The monthly support group has made such a difference; I started attending because I was looking for women who had walked the journey before me and could help answer my questions, but what I got in return is so much more than that; I got a table-full of new girlfriends who knew exactly what I was going through, and could be myself with no judgement. It has been a true blessing to me.

I give the NBCF a five star rating because they deserve to have it. The NBCF has helped me to provide information to educate not just women but also men on breast cancer awareness. What I love most is that NBCF helps in providing support to those who have been diagnosed and going through the process and they continue the support after surgery. For this reason, I signed up to be a volunteer ambassador for the NBCF to be their arms and legs on the ground to spread as much information as possible to educate and expand breast cancer awareness and support to people in my community and beyond. I truly appreciate having the opportunity to serve as an ambassador for this inspiring outreach organization. B. A. Jefferson

I have been working with NBCF for over 3 years. The thing that I appreciate most about this organization is that their mission of 'helping women now' is so critical. A cancer diagnosis is scary for the patient and every person in their lives. The education, resources and support that NBCF provides are valuable to anyone touched by a diagnosis, helping them to find answers beyond the medical office and feel safe to ask for help. I love that there are endless resources that I can share with my own friends and family.

Not only does National Breast Cancer Foundation have an amazing mission and vision, they are absolutely wonderful to work with. Their team is thoughtful, insightful and supportive, and they continue to create outstanding programs and initiatives to let women with breast cancer know that they are never alone. I feel fortunate to have found NBCF and couldn't recommend them more!

I am a 29 year breast cancer survivor as well as a University Distinguished Service Professor of Breast Cancer and Professor of Surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. This has afforded me the opportunity to serve on various Advisory Boards of National Advocacy organizations. Without a doubt, the passion, commitment and dedication that the leadership and staff do every day at the NBCF cannot be surpassed. Every employee fulfills their mission. They have even taken on providing grants for Breast Centers to hold 3 day/2 night retreats for patients and their loved ones dealing with metastatic breast cancer. That is HUGE. I am proud to be associated with them. Lillie Shockney

On behalf of the Johns Hopkins Breast Center, we are honored and thrilled to continue to receive funding to support a key element of our breast nurse navigation program. As an institution who performs a large volume of screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms, and also thousands of biopsies, we know the value of early detection. The NBCF has enabled us to provide nurse navigation in unique ways which includes breast imaging. Our navigator facilitates our weekly breast imaging/breast surgical oncology team radiology reviews so that patients having breast cancer surgery in the coming 7 days have their breast imaging studies and other tests carefully reviewed so that there is nothing missed or overlooked in preparing the patient for the right surgery in the right setting at the right time by the right providers. This same nurse navigator, who herself is a breast cancer survivor, also conducts community outreach events to raise awareness, undo myths, instill the facts, and she personally navigates breast cancer patients from their point of diagnosis through their treatment experience. Though thankfully the majority of breast cancer patients today become long term survivors, not all do. This navigator also is a co-facilitator with me for our semi annual metastatic breast cancer patient retreats which help patients and their family members prepare for what will lie ahead. Additionally, this nurse navigator also oversees our team of survivor volunteers who come on site to hold hands of patients getting biopsies. It is comforting during a time when fear of hearing "you have breast cancer" is on the minds of patients, they can be comforted by someone who is a survivor. She also conducts our annual survivor retreat as well. We are truly blessed to have the support of this terrific organization.

National Breast Cancer Foundation is different. They aren't trying to raise money for a potential cure or an aspirational future for patients. They aren't throwing big parties and trying to go viral.

I am grateful for the work National Breast Foundation does to not only provide patient's with navigation tools but reaching out to underserved populations in partnership with Convoy of Hope, sending out encouraging Hope Kits and providing retreats for women with metastatic breast cancer. If there is a need related to breast cancer NBCF doesn't ask if they can help but how.

On a personal note, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago. She was scared and overwhelmed but the online navigational tools helped to understand every step in the treatment process and through that she found hope. Today she is cancer-free.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation is an outstanding organization! When you learn about their various programs they offer and the true way they give back to the community by helping one woman at a time, it definitely makes you want to get involved and support them in their mission. They meet each woman exactly where they are in the diagnosis and hold their hand through the initial diagnosis, the treatment, all the way to hopefully the survival. They provide invaluable resources from their Hope Kits (which are amazing) to helping get a woman plugged in with a patient navigator that can help them along the way. The employees at NBCF truly care and that is evident in all they do!

Over 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. While there are many sources of information, one of the best sources I found was the Beyond the Shock App from the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Fast forward 4 years, and my sister was diagnosed with the same type of breast cancer as me. I referred her to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and she was able to take advantage of all the services offered by NBCF. This non-profit offers men and women, patients and caregivers HOPE. I have been blessed to be able to volunteer with this amazing organization and I'm continually surprised by their creative ways to live their mission statement.

I was introduced to the National Breast Cancer Foundation in 2017 as a high school intern passionate about supporting the cause of breast cancer and eager to learn more about the business models that nonprofits follow. My time at NBCF was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The multiple professionals that I met in different departments like finance/accounting, programs, development etc... all exhibited the central mission of the organization: to Help Women NOW. I treasured every day that I was able to spend at this nonprofit because of the friendly and warm hearted nature of all of the employees and the valuable experience and knowledge that each of them had. To NBCF, it isn't about the number of sponsors or donors that they can accumulate. It's about the relationship that they establish with these donors and whether or not everything wraps back around to the company's mission statement. My internship at NBCF was a notable turning point in my life, and I believe that this nonprofit serves as a turning point in many individuals' lives around the world as well.

However, it wasn't until I volunteered and was apart of a Hope Kit packing party at our church, that I really, TRULY saw the heart of NBCF. They are not only helping women right now in the middle of their diagnosis, but they are actually providing HOPE to those women and their families. Where would any of us be without hope? That is more impact than any financial or physical contribution could ever make - the impact of helping to renew an individual's hope - this is what NBCF is doing every single day.

There are two great things about NBCF. First, they generously provide funds for breast cancer related services, especially for low-income women, and the process to request and report on funding is simple and efficient. Second, the program officers there (most recently Michael Zenteno, but all have been great) are really responsive and caring. In fact, the entire organization is responsive. They recently contacted current grantees to ask us what else, besides funding for screenings, we really needed. When we responded, our answers didn't go into some "black box" somewhere...they actually got back in touch with us again to ask more questions about our needs. In my 12 years as a grants professional, I have never had a program officer contact me to ask about our needs. In my experience, NBCF is the best example of a Great Non-Profit that I can think of.

I have been working with the National Breast Cancer Foundation since I joined the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care as its Director of Development in late 2016. The NBCF has supported our Breast Health Program for the past couple of years and their support and collaboration has been invaluable and key to the success and continuity of our program. They are great partners in providing feedback, in wanting to learn not only about the results of our program but in wanting to know our patients and their stories. The staff at NBCF, specifically our grant manager Michael Zenteno, is always responsive and happy to answer any questions and/or provide feedback. It has been a delight being part of the NBCF family and we are so grateful of their continued support.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation has become one of the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care’s key partners in providing education, outreach, screening and the highest quality treatment to women who would not have access to these services otherwise. Together, we are ensuring that our breast navigation team can reach even more people who are underserved by the healthcare system.

NBCF truly lives out their mission of helping women where they are in their journey. Whether someone's interested in learning more about prevention, or they are in the midst of battling cancer, NBCF has the resources and tools to help. I've personally seen the heart that every staff member has for the mission and they are all very aligned in passion and vision.

We're a CPG company with a mission to "grow to give" and came to National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) in July hoping to have a program live in October (talk about a tight timeline!). We've been blown away by the support, dedication and passion shown by the entire NBCF team. They respond quickly, are well organized, have created custom content on demand and worked hard to thoughtfully grow our partnership. We're so proud of the greater program to raise support and awareness far beyond our monetary donation. They've set the bar in terms of national, non-profit partnership and we look forward to a long relationship working together to Help Women Now.

It isn't difficult to find nonprofit organizations...it's as simple as searching on google and boom! 2500 results are yours. The difficult part is finding a transparent, reliable, productive and amazing nonprofit organization but lucky for me, NBCF and my company struck a relationship a few years ago and the magic continues to happen year after year. The staff is incredibly efficient, friendly and resourceful. Their outreach programs allow me and my team to feel confident that our assets are in good hands and we look forward to many more years together with NBCF. THANK YOU!!

Three years ago, I met one of my best friends. We did almost everything together, and we adapted each other's hobbies-- one of her hobbies was origami. She quickly taught me many of her favorite pieces, and origami became my passion as well as hers.

We later realized that our new passion could be used to help people-- many people asked if they could have something made specially for them. My friend and I went on (with several other friends) to raise money for the school library by selling origami.

We soon realized we wanted to do something even bigger-- not that a library was not an honest cause, but we wanted to do something that could help change a life. Inspired by a school spirit day to raise awareness for breast cancer, the National Breast Cancer Foundation became our donor's choice of charity.

Over the course of two fundraisers and less than a year, my friend and I made and sold origami at school. We raised over $1,000 for the NBCF, and all the while we were supported by the NBCF. Emails were sent back in forth in communication-- never pushy or urgent or demanding. They sent us ribbons, stickers, and informative pamphlets to help with sales, and consistently checked in with us to ask if there was something they could do to help. They even showcased one of our origami pictures on their Facebook page, which was more than what we could ask for.

Throughout our fundraising experience, the NBCF has done so much to help us and others. Thank you, NBCF, for everything that you do; it has been an honor to work with such a life-changing organization.

If I were to begin another fundraiser, this nonprofit organization would easily be my choice.

The fundraiser that I set up with Westside Fitness was a 60 minute yoga class, focused on a yoga flow designed for breast cancer survivors. I am currently studying to become a yoga therapist and my area of focus is on using yoga for breast cancer recovery. Part of my certification is to teach several demonstrative therapeutic yoga classes, and Cathy (manager of Westside Fitness) was gracious enough to let me use her space to teach the two classes. Cathy and I both decided that entry into the class would be on a donation base only and all proceeds would benefit the fight against breast cancer.
We decided on National Breast Cancer Foundation because we believe in your mission, “to provide help and inspire hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services.” As a yoga instructor my goal is to educate everyone on the benefits of yoga and how it can help them in their daily lives. Through my research and from class feedback, I am learning what yoga can do for breast cancer survivors.

I believe that both classes were a great success with about 15 students participating in each session and walking away with a new and positive experience. Having never hosted a fundraiser before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was blown away by the amount of money raised and the support received. I walk away from this experience feeling encouraged and inspired and grateful to be able to support such a worthy cause.

Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Novant Health Cancer Prevention and Early Detection (CPED) program have partnered with the National Breast Cancer Foundation for the past seven years to meet the growing needs of Mecklenburg and 12 neighboring counties. Mecklenburg County has the highest rates of late-stage breast cancer diagnosis in North Carolina. By offering comprehensive breast health education and screening awareness to all women regardless of socioeconomic status, CPED addresses the significant healthcare needs of uninsured/underserved patients in the region. National Breast Cancer Foundation funding provides women ages 40-49 years with screening mammograms, diagnostic procedures ad critical education from highly qualified breast cancer health staff. This partnership facilitates program growth and enhanced collaboration with community groups, churches and local free clinics, providing uninsured/underserved women access to breast health services at local Novant Health Breast Imaging centers and Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center's mammography mobile coach.

Patients presenting with an abnormal finding are enrolled in the navigation program and receive diagnostic services and/or referrals to the Novant Health Cancer Care High-Risk Clinic. A safety net of care is provided for these women, from screening through diagnosis navigation and survivorship. National Breast Cancer Foundation's continued support is making a difference in the lives of uninsured/underserved women, especially those with more aggressive breast cancers who may not receive education or lifesaving early breast cancer screening without financial assistance. Novant Health CPED program staff is deeply grateful for this valuable and productive partnership.

Women are the largest users of our SABRE personal safety products. Since we’ve received tremendous support for our brand for four decades, we believe in giving back and helping others. The National Breast Cancer Foundation was very highly ranked and regarded. We learned that a greater percentage of our donations would be used to help fight breast cancer than the other charities we researched. We appreciate our partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation because this year-round fundraising effort supports cornerstones of both organizations: empowering women to protect themselves by giving them the necessary tools and education.

Oromill Lumber held a fundraiser back in October for the NBCF and it far exceeded our vision. We started planning this event in July and invited small business, schools, the public and dignitaries from our city to attend. We held our event on a Saturday and entertained, fed and raised money with raffles, baked goods, great food, live music, a classic car show, a kids zone and were amazed by the people that donated, participated and attended. Most donors had a connection with breast cancer. Either they knew someone who had passed, fought, or is fighting breast cancer. We raised almost $10,000.00 for the NBCF in just 3 months. We look forward to promoting, informing and raising money for the NBCF next year!! Thank you NBCF for allowing Oromill Lumber to help take a bite out of cancer!!!

I recently heard that one of my high-school friends died from stage four breast cancer. She was not aware she had it until it was too late. Also, members of my church has experience a lost in their family due to breast cancer and we have had members who experience a love one - going thru. Breast Cancer Foundation Company is an opportunity for all to survive this dreadful disease. Greer Chapel United Methodist Church is honored to be a blessing to others. Our ministry enjoy reaching out because we won't know if we would be next person to experience the pain and agony of cancer, but it is a tremendous blessing knowing how we can stop it from progressing.

We are apart of a large youth lacrosse program in Frisco, TX and we always raise money for breast cancer awareness. Our program has always felt that it was important to teach our young boys and girls the importance of giving back to others and this is our big fundraiser in the fall season. We were thrilled to learn that NBCF is right here in Frisco, TX and that the money donated could go to directly help others. NBCF is extremely professional and yet keep a sense of personal touch to their correspondences. We have donated to NBCF for the past few years and will continue to donate to their organization as they make you feel good for what you are doing and no domination is too little and everything you do is appreciated. Thank you NBCF for your wonderful organization!

2014 is the first year I organized a fundraiser benefiting the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
I wanted to find a way to remember my mom and find a way to help others fight breast cancer.
I chose NBCF because of their mission to provide education, early detection through free mammograms, and support to under-served women who might not have access to healthcare.
In addition, they have a high rating on Charity Navigator and I found that they give ~.85 cents of every dollar donated to the cause. This is much higher than many organizations I looked at.
During the planning process Lauren, from the fundraising team, was very helpful and responded to my questions quickly with helpful recommendations. The fundraising manual was very helpful as well.
This year was a learning experience but my experience was made smoother working with NBCF.
We plan to repeat our 'Que for the Cause every year and continue to donate the proceeds to NBCF.

As a result of a very generous grant from the National Breast Cancer Foundation, I was able to hire a Patient Navigator for the Breast Care Program at my hospital. The navigator is an active presence in the community who identifies women with breast problems or in need of breast screening mammography. The women we care for are uninsured and underserved. They face many barriers to accessing appropriatr health care. Our patients are very grateful to our navigator and we are very grateful to the National Breast Cancer Foundation!

The National Breast Cancer Foundation is exemplary in granting financial support to organizations that provide direct care to patients. Because of their generosity, I was able to hire an outreach navigator who works in our community to promote education regarding the importance of mammography screening and to navigate patients through the screening process. Every day, I hear grateful patients talk about what this program means to them. They know mammography is important but did not see how they could get access. We treat them with dignity and respect. We help them to learn how important their healthcare is. We save their lives. This is only possible because of the generosity of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

NBCF has made mammography screening affordable for thousands of women in Greater Cincinnati through its support of TriHealth's Women's Services. The program officers have worked with us to streamline our reporting and have always been helpful when we had questions. In the end, the NBCF has helped low income, uninsured or underinsured women who otherwise would not have obtained the screening. The women we help as a result of this grant are grateful for the peace of mind they gain through knowing they do not have breast cancer or for the information they receive that helps them to obtain further testing and treatment. Either way they win. Thank you, NBCF, for helping us do this good work in our community.

M.S.’s daughter-in-law states: “She remembers the navigators’ time shared and was not sure at the time of her pathology results what her new medical situation would bring. This situation certainly caught all of us (family, friends) unaware. My family and I felt very good about the team approach and that of the breast surgeon.”
M.S. says: “Several years ago, one of our children had surgery where she lived in Orlando. I was the primary caregiver; and I was completely caught unaware of the post-op items and care that would be needed. Not being familiar with the Cincinnati area, we have found the navigators and team at your breast center to be very helpful with references, and resources to better prepare us for my surgery, so that my family could provide me with the best care. So, thank you all for being there for us and sharing all the wonderful resources and information available to me and other patients at a time when we critically needed it. You all have made a big difference in those first few days, and weeks of my diagnosis. We just wanted to let the navigators and staff know how grateful we are for the quick responses, and precise diagnosis and recommendations for my surgery and oncology needs. Thanks again for all the answers to all those questions. You all helped to calm the nerves, and anxiety….couldn’t have done it without you all.”

The NBCF has sponsored our program for five years. The funds have been used to provide mammograms to rarely and never screened women who do not have health insurance. This, in some cases, is a life saver. Many women say the reason they wait a long time to get screened, even with symptoms, is because they do not have insurance and cannot pay for the medical care. This program eliminates the cost barrier for those women, and is essential to continuing to do so.

I have had so many postive comments from patients who have expressed their gratitude for being able to receive medical treatment because of this wonderful foundation. One in particular that was expecially touching came from a lovely Hispanic woman who wrote her comment in Spanish and then had her son translate it for me.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation has helped the St.Vincent Breast Center provide screening mammograms to hundreds of women from underserved populations throughout Central Indiana. The Mission of St.Vincent includes special attention to the poor and vulnerable. This mirrors the commitment of the National Breast Cancer Foundation to those less fortunate. As such, we consider the National Breast Cancer Foundation as a partner with us rather than merely a funder. The support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation has helped save lives through early detection.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation provides funding for a Breast Health Navigation Program at our hospital. Patients in our rural community setting have realized the huge benefit of patient navigation, particularly for women undergoing diagnostic breast imaging and interventions. Many women have been assisted through our navigation program- those without the financial resources to obtain regular screenings, those lacking knowledge about the importance of breast cancer screening, those experiencing a variety of barriers that prevent them from getting needed screening and follow-up. Countless women have noted how comforting and reassuring it is to have one person to turn to during the breast imaging, and particularly biopsy, process- a time that evokes extreme anxiety and concern for the unknown in the majority of women going through it. In addition to the navigation program, we are also able to screen women who are uninsured or underinsured, regardless of their ability to pay. Without this funding from the National Breast Cancer Foundation, we would not be able to provide this vital resource to our community.

The outreach, advocacy and efforts define the exemplary efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation as much as does the personal touch of the people behind the organization, at the direction of founder Janelle Hail.

As a sponsor, we are entering our 5th year of partnership with the NBCF, whereby a portion of sales of our wine products from our late mother's namesake vineyard, Carol's Vineyard, help to provide mammograms for women who otherwise would be unable to afford them. We're confident every year that our mutual crusade to raise awareness for the importance of early detection ~ as well as the resources NBCF provides ~ help comfort and empower women and families everywhere, and we feel fufilled knowing our personal story ~ the loss of our mother due to complications from breast cancer ~ can channel positive outcomes and great impact through the NBCF.

Thanks to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), we’re saving more lives in rural northwest Arizona from breast cancer. Kingman Regional Medical Center’s NBCF supported navigator program helps to reduce barriers to proper breast healthcare among some of our most vulnerable citizens—uninsured and underinsured women residing throughout a 1500-square-mile area in rural northwest Arizona. Our NBCF supported breast health navigator program helps these underserved women obtain breast cancer screening, diagnostic, and treatment services and to “navigate” through clinical and support services.

In addition to providing education and outreach about breast health, our NBCF supported navigator serves an essential role in addressing our breast cancer patients’ individual needs and coordinating with service providers to assure they receive optimum care to survivorship. She is a first point-of-contact for women who receive the unwelcome news of possible breast cancer and she continues to follow them— providing information, support, and resources— throughout the often unfamiliar and frightening breast cancer diagnostic and treatment process. We (and our patients) are grateful beyond words to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for having the insight and compassion for making our program possible.

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance have been fortunate to receive grant funding from the National Breast Cancer Foundation since 2007. In 2012 we were able to provide breast cancer screening services to over 800 women who didn't have insurance. The majority of patients are screened through SCCA's Mobile Mammography Van which works with community organizations and churchs to provide screening mammograms. Early detection has been proven to be a game changer in breast cancer survivorship. NBCF's funding has allowed us to make these life-saving exams avaialble to women in need throughout western Washington!

“Without the support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the SCCA would not be able to meet the screening needs of women regardless of their ability to pay. We know that early detection thorough screening saves lives. Last year we were able to expand our services to include much of the Puget Sound. We were able to provide mammography screening at many partner clinics, for many of the women screened; this was their first mammogram as adult woman.”

The NBCF is a well run, efficient organization, and therefore we could see that a maximum amount of our fund raising efforts were going to help eradicate the scourge of breast cancer.

For the past 7 years I have been producing/hosting a Breast Cancer Awareness Tennis Tournament at our local fitness center, Peninsula Community Center, in Redwood City, California. Each year I register up to 64 tennis players, and they come out for a morning or afternoon to help raise money that will go to Breast Cancer Awareness programs. This year National Breast Cancer Foundation was one of our recipients!
We have groups of 16 ladies at a time come out for food, tennis, raffles, silent auctions and a lot of fun!

This BCA Tennis Tournament was created after I had two friends diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I didn't know what I could do to help, so I decided to do something with the two things I love ----TENNIS and FRIENDS! The ladies all pay a registration fee to play and then help out even more by purchasing raffle tickets, bidding on auction items or making direct donations.

We also provide a table with information on Breast Cancer Awareness literature, and many times we have a survivor come to pass along information about the importance of self exams and regular check ups.

We have a blast each year getting together while doing something good. Our club's motto is about building "community" and we certainly have built a strong supportive community through this annual tournament.

I'm so thankful for volunteering at the 2nd Convoy of Hope Outreach! The people of Hawaii received a full meal..food to fill their stomachs, haircuts and clothes to boost their self esteem, music and dance to worship to fill their souls, education to feed their minds, opportunity to make new friends and hope to those who opened their hearts to receive prayer! The generosity of Convoy of Hope was a life changing day for many that came! I volunteered with the Breast Cancer Foundation and watched the faces of ladies as they eagerly listened and watched the demonstration of monthly self breast examination. For many young ladies, this was something new and others, a reminder. But there were others that needed a mammography. They received the help they needed to make an appointment. The volunteers I met were wonderful and truly wanted to be there to make a difference! This was a day I'll always remember and look forward next year's outreach!

I had a fantastic experience with National Breast Cancer Foundation. Through their very easy-to-use, custom fundraising website, I created my own fundraising page. I was able to add photos and videos to make it personal, attractive, and dynamic. When I did have questions, the team at NBCF answered those for me promptly. The entire fundraising experience was more than I could have imagined. I was able to focus on the results and not the details of collecting money. I would definitely recommend this non-profit to anyone.

I am a professional custom game call maker. One of my most popular colored calls happens to be pink. A friend suggested that I do an auction and send part of the proceeds to help the NBCF. Well I took his advice and had a custom made band with the pink ribbons engraved on it, but I decided all the cost would be my responsibility and 100% of the proceeds would benefit the NBCF. My attention was then directed at making this happen. With a small amount of effort and the help of Laura Gaspard with NBCF this was an excellent experience. She helped me every step of the way, and kept me updated as the process proceeded. When you deal with the NBCF you are not only helping a great cause, you are working with a class act as well. Thanks for helping make this event sucessful, and I hope we get to do a bigger better event to supposrt them next year!

It was a wonderful experience. Just talking to women and their needs, learning on reasons why they couldn't or haven't done a mammogram. Some had no education on it, didn't know what a mammogram was or how important it is to have one and most no medical insurance coverage. It was very informative for all of them. Just knowing that are a lot of needs out there and this is one of many outreaches that are needed in our society today. It was really a great experience, one that I volunteer to do over and over again. Because I love to reach out to women and to pray for them. There was a woman, that was in desperate need for her daughter to have a mammogram but could not do it because of no medical insurance, so she decide to come and get information on who could help her daughter. She could have gone to Convoy of Hope in the Leeward district but traveled to Honolulu because only Honolulu site had the the NBCF.

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.

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.

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

Our organization’s commitment to enhance the quality of life and raise breast health awareness for the people we serve is made possible with the generous support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation! Since our partnership, more than 4,000 uninsured and underserved women in Oakland County have received free mammogram screenings. In the last year, we provided 1,400 free mammograms and 18 women were diagnosed with cancer. Each of these women received successful follow-up treatment and 18 beautiful lives were saved. Thank you, NBCF!

Early detection is critical in the prevention of breast cancer; however, many women in our community are uninsured and unable to afford screening mammograms. Volunteer physicians at Good News Clinics provide free primary care to those in need in our community. When we lost access to screening mammograms for our patients, we contacted the National Breast Cancer Foundation and shared the need of uninsured residents in our community. NBCF immediately responded with a desire to help and a generous donation to provide screening mammograms for those we serve. A story about Martha best illustrates the impact the National Mammography Program has on the patients served in our community. Martha came to Good News Clinics as a new patient; she had not had a breast exam or mammogram in over ten years. After a breast exam, a diagnostic mammogram was ordered by the volunteer internist and immediately further diagnostic tests were ordered. Good News Clinics was able to refer Martha to volunteer specialists to develop a treatment plan for her. A Stage III malignancy was detected in a biopsy that was scheduled shortly after the ultrasound signified an area of concern. Currently Martha is under the care of a breast surgeon, a radiation oncologist and a medical oncologist. She also has a patient navigator who speaks Spanish working with her. Martha has completed radiation and chemotherapy. Without the National Breast Cancer Foundation grant to Good News Clinics for screening mammograms, Martha may not have been able to have her breast cancer diagnosed and treated. Access to screening mammograms is an essential diagnostic test that every woman should have regardless of income level, ethnicity, or insurance status. Thanks to the generosity and caring support provided by the National Mammography Program, patients served by GNC’s volunteer physicians have access to this essential health care service.

Patient Quotes (served by public county hospital system):
“This is such a great service for patients. I am currently on unemployment and searching for a job daily. I always used to get my screening mammograms. I came to get a mammogram on June 4, hoping that I could get a mammogram and I did and was told that I was an out of county patient, but there was some grants available for me. I was so thankful for that news. I am so pleased with what you are doing at the mammography center. Please continue to help women that are in need."

"Thank you for all you do. If it wasn't for Breast Cancer Connections' Gabriella Patser Program supported by a grant from the National Breast Cancer Foundation, I don't know where I would be today. I am only 24 years old and found out 6 months ago that I have a tumor the size of two baseballs in my breast. With no medical insurance and no current job, I did not know where to turn. This program is my guardian angel. I will be forever grateful for the unlimited emotional, mental, and financial support this program provided. This program helped me get my happy back, and for that I thank you. I feel blessed, humbled and strengthened by this whole experience, I could not have done it without your support. I am extremely grateful and appreciative for this wonderful program. Continue to do amazing work and touch people's lives.

NBCF has worked with the Breast and Cervical Health Check Program in the State of Alaska since 2010. During this time, they have assisted us with making mammography available to women throughout the state. We have received many reports from women that they would not have been able to have their screenings done without this help and felt like it gave them peace of mind. NBCF has been an excellent partner to work with and making funding available during a time when this is greatly needed for many woman, has been a true statement of their commitment to serve the community.

During 2010 and 2011, there were two women in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire who had their breast cancer discovered at an early stage, thanks to the “National Breast Cancer Foundation.” Mammography screening and diagnostic studies lead to early intervention which may have saved their lives. Through collaboration with the Healthcare team, they will have access to the greatest chances for survival and quality of life. What an amazing gift to be able to offer to someone!

The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) has supported our community in NW Montana for over two years and we have been able to help women who do not have insurance because of that support. Thanks to NBCF we have detected several early stage cancers that allowed the women to get life saving treatment due to early detection. Were it not for the support of NBCF, these women would not have gotten their mammogram and probably would not have known about the cancer until it was at a stage that made treament much more challenging and lowered survival chances. This is a terrific charity/foundation and does not have 100 hoops to jump through to secure their support. They are engaging, hands on, and passionate about what they do.
