Without funding for medical research it is virtually guaranteed that a cure will not be found. Remember that it was once thought that there would never be a vaccine for diseases such as polio or diabetes. We are not in a position to offer medical advice. However, should you have a concern, contact your family physician. Remember, early detection is the key in the battle against breast cancer.
Every penny is spent on breast cancer research and increasing awareness about breast cancer.
Our philosophy is simple. In order to maintain and eventually increase our funding base, we must use some funding to maintain our awareness in the community. However, most of our money is earmarked for research projects on breast cancer approved by the Board of Directors of the National Office. To maintain one s active volunteer status, three hours per month must be donated to the cause. That can be achieved by assisting in the operation of a kiosk at a local mall, participating in special events, serving in an administrative capacity for a Chapter.
