By Karuna Jaggar, Executive Director

For 26 years, we’ve been the watchdog of the breast cancer movement. We believe that women’s health and patient interests must always come before corporate profits. We’re fiercely independent and have a strict conflict of interest policy, which means we cannot be bought or influenced by the powerful industries we’re up against. We refuse corporate funding from any company that profits from or contributes to breast cancer: pharma, chemical, health insurance, etc. – the kind of corporate funding that funds most other breast cancer organizations.

We rely on our grassroots network – people like you – to support our work, and nearly 75% of our funding comes from individuals. One important way Breast Cancer Action members support our education and activism for women’s health is to raise money to fund this work. Members have lots of creative ways to mobilize their community’s support for our activism, from bike rides to knitting parties, online fundraising pages, house parties, and more.

If you’re interested in supporting our work by hosting a fundraiser of your own, join our Hell Rai$ers for Health grassroots fundraising team today.

When you join our grassroots fundraising team, you’re joining a community of fundraisers. We’ll show you how to successfully host a fundraiser for Breast Cancer Action, and we’ll support you every step of the way.

We’ve made it easy. We’ve broken down the art of successful fundraising into simple steps. When you sign up we’ll give you a “how-to” guide and a packet with everything you’ll need to get started. You’ll also be in touch with our experienced staff who can answer any questions you have or bounce ideas around about how you’d like to fundraise.

We can fiercely advocate for women’s health because we aren’t beholden to corporations that profit from or contribute to cancer. That’s why support from our members is so important to us. We are truly grassroots and we can’t do this work without you.

Become a Hell Rai$er for Health today, and start fundraising to support our activism for women’s health. Learn how to host a fundraiser in your community to raise much-needed funds for Breast Cancer Action, and introduce your community to the scrappy grassroots feminist organization you love.

Thank you so much for your support! We look forward to working with you.
