Cancer

The Breast Cancer Site
With a simple, daily click of the pink button at The Breast Cancer Site, visitors help provide mammograms to those in need. Visitors pay nothing. Mammograms are paid for by the site's sponsors and distributed by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.

Your gift means we can continue to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families. Together, we can work to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. Thank you for your support. 

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, Riley Children’s Foundation annually grants more than $35 million to Riley Children’s Health, Riley-affiliated researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine, and Camp Riley.

Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, so they can focus on helping their child live, regardless of the duration or the cost of care. By 2030, our goal is to cure at least 60% of children with six of the most common kinds of cancer worldwide. With your support, St. Jude can provide cutting-edge treatment at no cost to families.

Since our inception in 1982, Komen has provided funding to support research grants that have greatly expanded our knowledge of breast cancer and helped us understand that breast cancer is not just a single disease but many diseases, unique to each individual. To date, Komen has provided nearly $1.1 billion to researchers in 47 states, the District of Columbia and 24 countries to support research that has resulted in a better understanding of breast cancer; earlier detection; personalized, less invasive treatments for what was once a “one-treatment-fits-all” disease; and improvements in both quality of life and survival rates.Our mission is to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer. Our breast care helpline (1-877 GO KOMEN, helpline@komen.org) offers free support from trained oncology social workers, as well as guidance to local resources. Mon–Thur 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET and Fri 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. Don’t let financial hardship keep you from getting the treatment you need. The Financial Assistance Program is here to help so you can focus on your care. Find the latest information on breast cancer risk factors, screening, diagnosis, treatment, metastatic breast cancer, survivorship and more.
