 The Breast Cancer Fund is the leading national organization focused on identifying the causes of breast cancer and preventing the disease. Only 1 in 10 women who have breast cancer have a genetic history of the disease. The Breast Cancer Fund believes that most breast cancer can be prevented, and has adopted the bold mission to eliminate the environmental causes of the disease. Through public education, policy initiatives, outdoor challenges and other innovative campaigns, the Breast Cancer Fund mobilizes the public to secure the changes needed to stop this devastating epidemic.
