The National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund awarded a 2008 Best Practices in Breast Cancer Advocacy Award to The Rose’s Breast Health Collaborative of Texas. This competitive award is given to a consumer-led, grassroots advocacy organization whose strategic, high-impact programs address critical issues in the systems of research, access to quality care and public policy in breast cancer and should be replicated. The Collaborative will receive $50,000.
This year’s winner will present its award-winning best practice at a special session at NBCCF’s 2009 Advocacy Training Conference, taking place May 2-5, 2009 in Washington, D.C. It will also be included in a special poster session and commemorative publication marking the culmination of the three-year Best Practices program, which is generously funded by the Breast Cancer Fund of National Philanthropic Trust. The goal of the Best Practices in Breast Cancer Advocacy Awards is to recognize grassroots advocacy organizations whose work in breast cancer research, healthcare access and/or public policy can serve as models for other organizations nationwide. Thank you for your interest. 2008 Awards Committee | Matt Berzok, Esq.
