What Is There to Know About Breast Cancer?
According to Breastcancer.org, a woman's chances of developing breast cancer nearly double if her mother, sister or daughter has been diagnosed with the disease.
Did you know that breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women aside from skin cancer? Health experts say many women face a real risk of developing invasive breast cancer at some point in their lives. Research also shows that women under 45 who are Black are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer and to experience higher death rates compared to women who are white, Native American, Asian American or Hispanic.
How Does Your Vehicle Donation Help Those Stricken with Breast Cancer?
Few experiences compare to the fear and uncertainty of a breast cancer diagnosis. When this disease is detected before a tumor can be felt, survival rates are dramatically higher. Sadly, many individuals from low-income households lack the resources for early detection, treatment and ongoing care.
Breast Cancer Car Donations partners with trusted nonprofits to ensure that breast cancer patients receive the help they urgently need. We sell donated vehicles and use the proceeds to support our charity partners' life-saving programs. These funds help them continue providing essential breast health services in your community.
Your donation gives uninsured and financially struggling patients access to top medical facilities, where they can receive treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Other beneficiaries gain access to screening services, prevention education and programs designed to support overall breast health.
