Tell Us Your NBCC Advocacy Story
We are part of NBCC for a reason, and that reason is different for each of you. You may be a survivor or the family member of someone who has breast cancer or has lost their life to breast cancer. Or, another reason entirely. We need your stories. Why are you an NBCC advocate? We want to share your advocacy story with others so they, too, can become a catalyst in our fight to end breast cancer. Let them know it is not only possible to change the world, but that each one of us can help make that happen.
Support Project LEAD and Double Your Impact
The National Breast Cancer Coalition’s Project LEAD course empowers dedicated breast cancer advocates with the knowledge and confidence to contribute to advocate-driven and advocate-focused breast cancer research at both the local and national levels. And we do it at no charge to attendees.
Today with more than 2,500 graduates, Project LEAD prepares advocates to participate in research advocacy. Graduates have and continue to play an enormous role in promoting best practices in breast cancer research, designing and shaping clinical trials, analyzing research findings from a consumer perspective, and engaging in local and national forums where breast cancer decisions are made.
Please help to ensure that new advocates continue to receive training that gives them the critical appraisal skills to identify what is worth fighting for in breast cancer, and the tools to create meaningful change. Donate online to support Project LEAD at www.stopbreastcancer.org/supportlead.
Thanks to the generous support of the Vance Wall Foundation, all donations received by mail or online by September 30 will be matched up to $50,000.
