About Breast Cancer: 

Breast cancer is a complex disease that will affect 1 in 9 Canadian women during their lifetime.
According to the latest statistics, it is estimated that 24,400 women and 210 men in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and that 5,000 women and 60 men will die from the disease in 2014.

As a national leader in breast cancer funding, the Foundation has allocated over $248 million towards breast cancer research, health promotion, advocacy, education and awareness programs since 1986.

Our donor dollars are put to work by investing in the brightest and best minds in breast cancer research and community health programs that are leading groundbreaking work across the breast cancer spectrum.

With your support, the Foundation will continue investing in the brightest and best minds in breast cancer research. We will continue advocating for greater education, improving treatment options, access to screening and empowering Canadians affected by breast cancer. With your support, we will create a future without breast cancer.
