Two of my favorite charities:
www.standup2cancer.org
[This is a terrific one - and it's not just for breast cancer, but all cancers.] Their mission is to fund collaborative, translational cancer research to bring treatments from the bench to the bedside faster, and save lives now. Since Stand Up To Cancer was founded in May 2008, they have granted $161 Million Dollars to ten Dream Teams of scientists and researchers, one international translational research team and 26 high-risk, high-reward Innovative Research Grants. 100% of public funds go directly into research grants. A portion of the funds that are raised from major donations and third-party fundraising go towards administrative expenses and overhead.
Metavivor.org
From support groups to funding vital research, their programs sustain the power of hope. Passionately committed patients themselves, they rally public attention to the urgent needs of the metastatic breast cancer (MBC) community, help patients find strength through support and purpose, and make EVERY dollar count as they work with researchers to regain longevity with quality of life.
