TBCS - Battling for a Noble Cause

The Breast Cancer Society - Battling For a Noble Cause

Breast Cancer is one of those diseases known as the ‘silent killers’ that are notorious for spreading internally within the body with a kind of stealth that more often than not, makes it discoverable only when the disease is too far gone and there is suspicion of widespread dissemination of the disease to other areas of the body. However, modern advancements in medical science have bridged the gap between the disease and the cure, but still requires awareness to be spread to the masses about these blessings. 

What does the Breast Cancer Society do?

The Breast Cancer Society is one of the premiere non-profit organizations working for the social welfare of women, particularly Breast Cancer patients, that aims to spread awareness about all the new modalities and forms of treatment that have come forward in recent years as well as taking a more direct approach to helping those suffering at the hands of this disease. The Society is based in Arizona, U.S. and has centers operating all over the states and at international locations too, seeking to facilitate these women by bringing them together to voice their opinions, share their concerns and experiences and support each other both emotionally and psychologically.

How is all this possible?

These purposes are achieved by a detailed plan devised by the Breast Cancer Society that includes revolutionary initiatives like the Hope Supply Program, the many financial aid programs, scholarship funds, and charity walks and community outreach programs to aid in the hearing of these voices and help the women in need who are going to this traumatic ordeal in life.

What is the Hope Supply Program?

The Hope Supply Program is one of the leading initiatives up taken by the Breast Cancer Society and it is centered around the idea that the entire cost of the treatment of Breast Cancer and the therapy is in fact, quite a burden for the average household. To ease some of this load, the program contacts the major retailers and franchisers in the locality and asks them to donate their overstock and surplus items of everyday use, which are then provided directly to these women affected by Breast Cancer. The items are delivered to one of the many Hope Supply centers from which you can browse and select the products which you want. The items available are mostly things of everyday use like household items, bedding, hygiene products, clothing, wigs, bras and prosthetics.

How can we help?

You can help the society by donating funds to help support and propagate the cause, by donating clothes and food items, by helping to raise money for the society, by organizing charity walks and missions to spread awareness and last but not the least, by just sharing your experiences with other people going through the same dilemma and encouraging them to keep moving forward in the fight against cancer, for it is one that we here at the Breast Cancer Society need your utmost help and co-operation in winning.
