Write down how many women you know. Your mother, sister, aunt, wife, daughter, co-worker, friend, etc. Divide that number by 8.
About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 13%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime according to BreastCancer.org. Additionally, each year in the United States alone, about 264,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women and about 2,400 in men. About 42,000 women and 500 men in the U.S. die each year from breast cancer according to the CDC.
Zebra Skimmers has decided to do its part in aiding Breast Cancer Research during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Keep reading for how you can stand alongside us in aiding our efforts.
We are hosting a fundraiser for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation to help with research on this topic that affects us all.
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to achieving prevention and a cure for breast cancer. They provide critical funding for cancer research worldwide to fuel advances in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, metastasis and survivorship.
Since their founding in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF has raised more than a billion dollars to fuel its mission to be the end of breast cancer. Through a unique and streamlined grants program, they seek out the brightest minds in science and medicine. They then give them the necessary resources to pursue their best ideas. This enables researchers to make discoveries and design new approaches to address all aspects of breast cancer—and do so in record time.
