What Does BCA Do with Your Money?
81 cents of every dollar you donate goes directly towards work on our priorities:
- Putting Patients First: Advocating for more effective and less toxic breast cancer treatments by shifting the balance of power in the FDA drug and device approval process away from the pharmaceutical industry and toward the interest of patients.
- Creating Healthy Environments: Decreasing involuntary environmental exposures to toxins that place women at risk for breast cancer. This includes our “Think Before You Pink” campaign that focuses on calling out “pinkwashers,” and our Milking Cancer campaign to eliminate rBGH from the world dairy market.
- Eliminating Social Inequities: Creating awareness that it’s not just genes but social inequities – political, racial and economic injustices – that lead to disparities in breast cancer incidences and outcomes.
- Carrying the Voices: Providing unbiased information about breast cancer diagnosis, screening, treatment, and prevention to anyone who requests it.
As the only national breast cancer organization that refuses funding from corporations that profit from or contribute to cancer, we are in the unique position to tell the truth about breast cancer. Nearly 70% of our support comes from individuals just like you.
Breast Cancer Action’s mission is to carry the voices of those affected by breast cancer to inspire and compel the changes necessary to end the epidemic. We work at both the national and the grassroots levels to reveal the involuntary environmental exposures linked to breast cancer, to create awareness around the root causes in our social and physical environments that leads to inequities in breast cancer outcomes, and to organize communities to take action and demand safer, less toxic breast cancer treatments. Through our programs and campaigns, we influence media coverage of breast cancer issues, and contribute a unique voice to the ongoing public dialogue about breast cancer research.
We could not do this work without your support. Please make a contribution today.
