The Cure Foundation: Together Against Breast Cancer
Our Mission
The Cure Foundation is committed to ensuring that no patient faces breast cancer alone. The organization’s mission focuses on providing unwavering support during one of the most challenging periods in a patient’s life. Cure Foundation believes that donations and collective action translate into lasting impact on individuals, families, and communities affected by breast cancer.
Creating a Lasting Impact
Breast cancer remains a significant concern, reaching record-high levels in recent years. Through the generous support of donors and fundraising initiatives, the Cure Foundation offers lifelines to patients, making sure that help is always available. Programs like monthly giving, fundraisers, and campaigns such as #CUREChallenge and #WOMENCUREWOMEN create opportunities for everyone to get involved and change lives.
Supporting Patients Financially
A diagnosis of breast cancer not only brings emotional distress but often leads to immense financial challenges. With the cost sometimes reaching $33,000 over a patient’s lifetime, the Cure Foundation’s financial assistance program steps in to relieve some of this burden. The foundation recognizes that true healing comes from addressing both the medical and economic needs of patients.
Raising Awareness and Prevention
Education is a cornerstone of the Cure Foundation’s work. Campaigns such as "Know Your Normal" empower individuals to stay aware of their own bodies, recognize early signs and symptoms, and seek help when changes occur. The “Naked Truth” prevention campaign and other awareness efforts strive to normalize open discussions around breast health, so no warning sign goes unnoticed.
Supporting Research and Reducing Risk
Investing in research allows the Cure Foundation to contribute to the development of better treatment options and prevention strategies. Grants and proposal guidelines are directed at supporting researchers who are making strides in breast cancer science. In addition, the foundation shares guidelines on prevention and healthy habits for reducing risk.
Stories of Hope: Meeting the Thrivers
At the heart of the Cure Foundation are the “Thrivers”—individuals who have faced breast cancer and continue to inspire hope. Their stories, like that of Janielle Walker, remind the community why supporting breast cancer patients matters. These personal journeys serve as both motivation and proof that together, we make a difference.
Get Involved
From fundraising and shopping for the cure to volunteering or becoming a monthly donor, there are many ways to join the Cure Foundation’s fight against breast cancer. The impact of a single action spreads, changing lives and building a network of care and hope for the future.
