Mission Statement: To improve the lives of young women affected by breast cancer. Our services are limited to women diagnosed under 51.

The mission of MPN Research Foundation is to stimulate original research in pursuit of new treatments — and eventually a cure — for the blood cancers essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and myelofibrosis, known collectively as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).

The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation's mission is to improve the lives of those touched by inflammatory breast cancer through the power of advocacy and action. We do this by fostering innovative inflammatory breast cancer research, educating stakeholders, and tirelessly advocating for both patients and survivors.

We connect breast cancer researchers, patients, and supporters together through funding for cutting-edge research, survivorship programs, and ongoing education. Our mission is to further the research, treatment, and prevention of breast cancer while strengthening and supporting patients as they navigate the complexities of their breast cancer journey. We foster collaboration for both medical research teams and breast cancer patients to share experiences, build on each other’s advances, and ultimately improve outcomes.

Founded by Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green, the Ora Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation is on a mission to change the way cancer is treated and reduce cancer-patient suffering by providing a treatment that is accessible, affordable, and, most importantly, effective. Despite all of modern and alternative medicine’s best approaches, nearly 9 million cancer-related deaths occur every year due to cost, access, and efficacy of current treatment options. Dr. Green has developed a new arsenal in the war on cancer, Laser-Activated Nano-Therapy (LANT). After a single 10-minute treatment, LANT completely eliminates tumors in laboratory mice in just 15 days, without any observable side effects. Limited by funding, not technological advancements, LANT is ready for human trials. The purpose of the Ora Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation is to move LANT beyond the laboratory and into humans, independent of the pharmaceutical industry with tax-deductible donations. We have the capacity to save lives. With our revolutionary technology, we can. With your help, we will. Together, #WeAreOraLee. Together, with your generous support, we can change the way cancer is treated.

Prevent Cancer Foundation's mission is to empower people to stay ahead of cancer through prevention and early detection.

The National Breast Center Foundation exists to improve the lives of women by removing barriers that prevent them from getting proper screening, diagnosis, and education about breast cancer. Our region has the HIGHEST incidence and mortality from breast cancer in the nation. Women in our area also have one of the highest rates of late stage breast cancer. Something has to happen to address this crisis. I believe that education, access, and technology are the answer.
