Mission
TD for Breast Cancers mission is to raise breast cancer awareness encourage self-advocacy in medical settings educate young women on their breast cancer lifetime risks & provide outreach to an under-served community. TDBC fundraising efforts support our program for women under 40 without access to early detection services such as mammograms. Our grants help offset the costs of early detection services for individuals who lack insurance coverage for these procedures as well as supporting young women currently in breast cancer treatment. We host & attend events where we connect with hundreds of individuals with breast cancer risk. Many of these individuals are affected by breast cancer and seek support; others are under 40 the typical age at which mammogram screening begins and are unaware of the risks they might have for developing breast cancer in their lifetime. By meeting with these people we empower them to know what to do where to go & how to advocate for themselves.
