How Your Support of The Breast Cancer Site is Making a Difference
Every time you click on the pink "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button, or make a purchase in The Breast Cancer Site store, you generate funding for free mammograms for women in need.
The funding generated by your clicks is paid by site sponsors, whose ads appear after you click. In the store, The Breast Cancer Site gives a portion of the proceeds from each sale to the cause as well. All of this money goes to the nonprofit National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), founded by breast cancer survivor Janelle Hail.
NBCF uses the funding you help generate to provide free mammography screenings to low-income, homeless and inner-city women. Without your help, these women would not receive the gift of early detection — the key to survival and better treatment options.
Below are specific examples of how your clicks on the "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button and purchases in The Breast Cancer Site store are giving the gift of early detection to women in need in Los Angeles, California, and Mississippi.
We hope you enjoy the stories of how and where your support of The Breast Cancer Site is fighting breast cancer. Remember to click every day, and increase your impact by spreading the word to friends and family. The stories we share are just the start to what we can do by working together to give the gift of early detection to women in need.

Mississippi:
Your Daily Click Gives Health and Hope to Women in Need
Recently, Janelle Hail, president and founder of the National Breast Cancer Foundation, presented a check to the Mississippi State Department of Health that will provide free mammograms to women under 50 years of age.
Previously, there were no programs in the entire state to fund mammograms for needy women under the age of 50. The American Cancer Society emphasizes the essential role and benefit of annual screening mammography starting at age 40.
This important funding was the result of efforts by the Mississippi Federation of Women's Clubs (MFWC), the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and supporters of The Breast Cancer Site. In April 2003, Janelle spoke at the Mississippi Federation of Women's Clubs where she received a check to go towards this vital program.
For a year, the women of Mississippi have not only done special club projects, but have clicked faithfully at The Breast Cancer Site to help provide free mammograms. Celia Fisher, president of the federation, has made breast cancer her project for her two years of service.
Janelle says, "I had breast cancer at the age of 34. Had I waited for treatment, I would not be alive today. There are women in Mississippi that can't wait either. The hard work of the women in the MFWC has already paid off in lives saved through their valiant efforts."
The American Cancer Society estimates that 2,500 breast cancers will be diagnosed in Mississippi in 2003, and of that number 500 will die. Any women diagnosed with a malignancy through the screening program would be eligible for Medicaid to reimburse for treatment costs.
Funds raised by the Mississippi Federation of Women's Clubs again this year will be used along with aid from The Breast Cancer Site. In the future, support will continue so that needy women throughout the state of Mississippi will have access to free mammograms.
"The National Breast Cancer Foundation has stepped into an important role in the state of Mississippi to fulfill a desperate need for women under the age of 50 who cannot afford mammograms. Partnering with The Breast Cancer Site and the Mississippi Federation of Women Clubs, the impact is phenomenal," says Janelle Hail.
Los Angeles:
L.A. Mission Fights Poverty with Hope
The city of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County are going broke, teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. The land of opportunity is quickly dissolving into an area of disenchantment. More than $1 billion of debt hangs over politicians and administrators. The first areas cut are healthcare and help for the homeless.
Major hospital facilities are being targeted for closure while a population lives one car accident away from a much needed trauma facility, one heart attack away from intensive care, and one mammogram away from discovering and defeating breast cancer. Desperately needed healthcare and treatment for homeless, uninsured, and underserved women is disappearing.
The Los Angeles Mission — known as "Hope Central" — is located in downtown Los Angeles, California, in the heart of what is known as Skid Row. Those who submit themselves to the care of the Mission find help and hope inside its gates.
The impact of Los Angeles Mission in the community is great; the Mission provides everything from a hot meal to long-term rehabilitation programs. The services are given to anyone who needs it, free of charge.
Los Angeles Mission Community Clinic, the health facility of the Los Angeles Mission, offers free healthcare for desperately needy people. The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) has partnered with The Breast Cancer Site to provide funding for mammograms, education, and breast healthcare to the clients of the Los Angeles Mission.
Your daily clicks on the "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button help fund this important work, which saves lives and gives hope to the hopeless. As Janelle Hail, founder of NBCF says, "What greater gift can you give than hope for the future?"
