Empowering Survivors
Breast Cancer gets tons of attention and funding yet women of color still have a 42% chance of dying from this disease. Healthcare inequity impacts women of color disproportionately. BCSF is trying to change this one woman at a time.
Inspiring Survivorship
Women surviving breast cancer are everyday heroes. Vibrant, passionate, driven, successful daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, glam moms, Aunts, entrepreneurs, executives, and beautiful bosses.
Educating Communities
If 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, then lets get busy making sure every woman in every town, everywhere receives the knowledge and the resources to thrive beyond a diagnosis of breast cancer.
