NGO Profile: Breast Cancer Fund
In response to the public health crisis of breast cancer, the Breast Cancer Fund identifies – and advocates for elimination of – the environmental and other preventable causes of the disease.
About the Breast Cancer Fund
In the United States, a woman's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is an alarming 1 in 8, and no more than 1 in 10 women with breast cancer has a genetic history of the disease. A growing body of scientific evidence points to toxic chemicals and radiation as factors contributing to the high rates of breast cancer.
Founded in 1992, the Breast Cancer Fund is the leading national organization focused on eliminating the environmental risks, including toxic chemicals and radiation, associated with breast cancer. Our aim is to stop this devastating disease before it starts. We do this through aggregating and analyzing the scientific evidence, and through educating and mobilizing the public in support of policy initiatives, corporate accountability campaigns and other innovative programs that promote breast cancer prevention.
