Our Mission
No parent should lose a child, no child should lose a parent, no spouse should lose a spouse, and no friend should lose a friend to breast cancer. Our mission is to end cancer by funding cancer prevention and treatment research. The money we raise enables oncologists to start their research. (This is the first step in the process.) From there, they can go to the next step where bigger grants are available.
Our Impact
Over the past 26 years, Bakes For Breast Cancer has made breast cancer research possible. And that’s thanks to everyone who’s baked, eaten, donated, sponsored, and volunteered.
