Since its inception in 1993 The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) has raised over $320 million to support the most advanced and promising breast cancer research that will help lead to prevention and a cure in our lifetime..
In 2010-2011, our grants are supporting 172 dedicated researchers at major medical institutions across the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. If not for BCRF, many facts about genetic basis of breast cancer wouldn’t be known, breast cancer stem cells would still be a mystery, and personalized, targeted therapies wouldn’t currently be available.
pledge that more than 90 cents of every dollar raised for BCRF will support breast cancer research and awareness programs. And for the ninth consecutive year, BCRF received Charity Navigator’s highest rating, four stars, thus outperforming over 99% of the evaluated charities, while the American Institute of Philanthropy has awarded the Foundation its highest possible rating of A+. BCRF is the only breast cancer organization in the U.S. to receive these accolades.

Team Survivor was founded in 1995 by Sally Edwards with the goal of returning fitness and health to the lives of women who have received a cancer diagnosis. The first Team Survivor Affiliate was founded in Austin, Texas. Today, there are more than 24 Team Survivor Affiliates across the country with programs ranging from triathlon training to yoga to Dragon Boating and more.
Team Survivor provides free support to female cancer survivors as they reach for fitness goals and programs are open to women in all stages of treatment, recovery, and survivorship. Physical activity feeds the body, mind, and soul, and Team Survivor provides women with exercise opportunities and education to "thrive" while they "survive." These women are already champions; Team Survivor helps them reach new heights.
