Yes, just simply thank you for your support, for your trust in us as stewards of your donations and thank you for helping us make a difference for breast cancer patients that reside in the Corridor.
2023 will be a busy year for Team Breast Friends as it will be a chance for those who know anyone touched by breast cancer to speak up, reach out, raise money and make a statement about how sometimes our neighbors need help.
We are here to help anyone who needs us, so once again and with profound gratitude, thank you.
“Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives impacted by breast cancer and bring awareness through our efforts.” Since forming this team in 2008, nearly $500,000 has been contributed for breast cancer needs!
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women.
One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 440 will die each year.
On average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and 1 woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes.
Over 3.1 million breast cancer survivors are alive in the United States today!
