National Breast Cancer Foundation (United States)
The National Breast Cancer Foundation is a U.S. breast cancer organization that promotes breast cancer awareness and education, provides free screening services, and supports breast cancer patients and survivors.
NBCF was founded by Janelle Hail in 1991 after her own experience with surviving breast cancer, to provide information to breast cancer patients. The organization focuses heavily on education and early detection.
Through its National Mammography Program, NBCF provides free mammograms and diagnostic care services to underserved women by partnering with medical facilities across the U.S. It also partners with Convoy of Hope to provide breast cancer education and resources to women in need. NBCF provides a patient navigator program, HOPE Kits, metastatic breast cancer retreats, and the online Beyond the Shock educational forum.
Through its Game Pink fundraiser, professional video game players raise money for NBCF through live-streaming and in-person events.
