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 highly recommend this organization to anyone that is, or has a loved one, coworker, or friend that is facing breast cancer.
My wife works at NBCF, so I'm very aware of their mission and the work that they are doing every day to support women and families in the midst of breast cancer. 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. I'm so thankful to be connected to NBCF and the amazing work that they are doing!
The team in Frisco is amazing!! Our office volunteered during the work week as a team, putting together the supplies that go inside the HOPE kits. It was organized, a friendly environment and we were treated so nicely!
National Breast Cancer Foundation is one the top non-profits to work with. They care about every woman that is struggling with breast cancer and about helping them through every step of the journey. Their mission to Help Women Now is so important because so many women and their families are affected every day. Their programs they offer to women are life changing resources and I couldn't be happier to support such a wonderful foundation.
I did a Hope Kit fundraiser and got to pack care packages for women undergoing breast cancer treatment. They made it easy for me to make a difference. I was able to raise enough to help 24 women. Packing the hope kits was an amazing experience. The team was informative and professional. I had a wonderful experience and will be a lifelong supporter of National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Working with NBCF this last year has been a pretty incredible and rewarding experience. The entire NBCF team is extremely dedicated to their mission and are pleasure to work with. They are constantly looking for ways to leverage strategic resources to find new ways to further their cause in fighting breast cancer.
I've worked with a number of non-profits, assisting them with their donor communications. By far, National Breast Cancer Foundation has been the best to work with. They're efficient, professional, and truly care about their cause. There are so many pink-ribbon organizations out there, but NBCF is the one I trust the most. It's my honor and privilege to work alongside them.
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.
The NBCF is one of the most welcoming offices I have been into! I have had a chance to meet with most of the staff as well as sit in on a luncheon. I was amazed at the professionalism, passion for the cause, and overall friendliness. Amazing non-profit with fabulous staff!
I've been involved with NBCF for the past 2 years, and I've gotten the privilege to work with many of the people there. They are the most dedicated and passionate people you could have working towards a cause. I also had the honor of being a part of their high-school ambassador program, we were guided from start to finish on how to be the best we could be and help the most people. If you take one thing from this review it should be that NBCF is composed of the most passionate and dedicated people always looking for ways to help people near and far.
I have had the pleasure of working with this organization professional and leveraging their services personally. They are a highly-adaptive organization consistently looking for ways they can leverage available technology resources to further their cause, reach more constituents while simplify administrative processes so they can focus on the real mission....Fighting breast cancer. Personally, I have found their website incredibly informative and beneficial for anyone who is fighting breast cancer or family members and friends looking for more information and how they can help. And their fundraising tools make it easy for anyone to donate or start their own fundraiser.
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.
Great organization. They fund our annual metastatic breast cancer retreat for patients. Not only that they help set up the program and provide different items for patients. The genuinely care about making difference.
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.
