Join these 25+ Alabama businesses and help raise money for life-saving breast cancer research

This October, join the many businesses, local companies and organizations across the state of Alabama that are stepping up and going pink to raise money for lifesaving breast cancer research.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama (BCRFA) has partnered with over 25 groups from schools to car dealerships, banks to real estate brokerages, who want to to help find a cure for breast cancer by funding promising breast cancer research in Alabama.

Support BCRFA’s mission to fund promising breast cancer research in Alabama.

Last year, BCRFA invested over $1.275 million in 24 groundbreaking projects across seven Alabama-based institutes thanks to its Breast Cancer Awareness Month partners. The organization is set to reveal its 2023 grant awards in December, furthering its commitment to continue the fight against breast cancer.

“The Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama takes pride in its role of advancing local research and raising awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to ensure a healthier future for all. Witnessing our partners unite behind our mission fills me with inspiration and hope for a future without breast cancer, all thanks to pioneering research. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is also a poignant time to celebrate the triumphs of breast cancer survivors, pay tribute to those we’ve lost, and, most importantly, rally others to join the fight against this disease that touches so many.”

Beth Davis, President & CEO, Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama
