Breast Cancer Organization
The Linda Creed Breast Cancer Organization joins the community in advocating for social, economic and racial justice. We have seen these racial disparities in breast cancer, where black women have a higher rate of dying from breast cancer than any other races.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to fight breast cancer through community-based education and referral, support, advocacy and direct service for those who need us.
YOUR DONATION
1 in 7 women will get breast cancer and 1% of breast cancer diagnosis will affect men!
