The American Breast Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides “education, access, and financial assistance to aid in the early detection, treatment, and survival of breast cancer”, regardless of age, gender, and whether they are insured or not.
The ABCF is very dedicated to giving people access to lifesaving tests that they wouldn’t get otherwise. They have “provided more than 46,300 grants for breast cancer and diagnostic services through its Breast Cancer Assistance Program”. Not only this but this, 1,300 people got diagnosed with breast cancer and were able to take the next steps in fighting it. Without this program, these people would not have had the access to these tests and probably would not have known until the cancer progressed even more.
If you are dedicated to the cause and want to get involved, you’re in luck because they also do different forms of fundraising and bringing awareness!
One way The ABCF brings awareness to breast cancer is by their Paint it Pink Challenge. They inspire you to “be creative, paint something pink” then “post a picture of what you have painted pink and tag the American Breast Cancer Foundation on Facebook and Instagram with the hashtag, #PAINTITPINK4ABCF”
They also “teamed up with the American Breast Cancer Foundation to help raise funds for out life-saving programs through the creation of a vehicle donation program”.
But don’t think you just have to donate cars, you can also donate trucks, cans, SUVS, boats, RVs, and motorcycles. But wait, there’s more! If you donate, you can “receive a top tax deduction for your generous vehicle donation”! It’s a win-win situation and plus, you can feel good about giving back!
One of my personal favorite fundraising options they have is the “Shopping With a Purpose”! They go into detail on how different retailers like Amazon and eBay work along side them to raise money for the cause. They describe how AmazonSmile is “a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you”. When you shop, Amazon will “donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization”. It’s another win-win situation, you shop and are able to give back at the same time! Sign me up!
But Amazon and Ebay are not the only brands that support the ABCF. Tons of brands like Under Armour, Medelita, Raymond Corp, Ford, and SLAC inc. all support the cause, and so can you!
If you look at the ABCF website, you can find different upcoming events they’re going to have like the “Women Rock Nashville Mother’s Day Concert”. The concert is the perfect place to “honor you mother or mother figure in your life with a potentially life saving donation this holiday”!
If you get a free second, I definitely recommend visiting their website to learn how to bring awareness and find ways to get involved from shopping to fundraising! Stay safe and healthy while giving back!
