American Breast Cancer Foundation

American Breast Cancer Foundation has recognized the need for uninsured and underserved women and men of their community to have access to life saving breast cancer screening services. Working to provide a fighting chance for every life threatened by breast cancer, the American Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1997.

The American Breast Cancer Foundation promotes health education and provides life-saving breast cancer screening assistance through outreach events. Such events help support impoverished communities in rural areas of the United States. Volunteer doctors, nurses, pilots and support workers participate at their own expense. Medical supplies, medicines, facilities and vehicles are donated.

ABCF comes to the aid of patients in crisis to assist with financial support for the continuation of necessary chemotherapy or medications when no other resources are immediately available. ABCF provides breast cancer patients with referrals for crucial information gathering, additional assistance programs, and support services available to them at a critical time when help is needed most.
