Help Raise Funds For A Cure! Shirts Avail: Oct. 13-26!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Here are staggering facts about breast cancer in the US from nationalbreastcancer.org:

• One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
• Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women.
• Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women.
• Each year it is estimated that over 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die.
• Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,150 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 410 will die each year.

Note: When the campaign was created, we had removed Susan G. Komen org. as the recipient because we learned that less than 20% of proceeds were used towards research and prevention programs. Before ultimately choosing the National Breast Cancer Foundation, we had defaulted to the XVMC account, overseen by Shizuka. Don't worry! The proceeds are not going to fund Shizuka. Shizuka is just the campaign organizer. At the end of the campaign, the proceeds will be sent to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. We ultimately came to this decision because we learned on NBCF's site that 86% of  their spending is on their programs, "including providing mammograms, breast health services, education, and support for those in need. We accomplish this through partnerships with hospitals and breast health facilities across the country, community outreaches, and digital educational and support resources." That's an organization we can back fully and proudly!
