Connecticut Breast Cancer Coalition/Foundation - Working for a Cure

In 2008, 3,000 Connecticut women were diagnosed with breast cancer, placing the State high on the list for incidence of breast cancer.
According to the most current statistics provided by The American Cancer Society Connecticut had the third highest rate of new cases of breast cancer in the United States.
While deaths related to breast cancer have decreased due to early detection and advances in treatment, breast cancer is still the second leading cause of cancer related deaths among Connecticut women.
The Connecticut Breast Cancer Coalition Foundation (CBCCF) is the only statewide all-volunteer, grassroots advocacy group working to focus attention on breast cancer through legislative action.
The Connecticut Breast Cancer Coalition (CBCC), incorporated as a 501(c)4, is the advocacy and legislative component. The Connecticut Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF), incorporated as a 501(c)3 seeks donations and promotes events to maintain the continuation of an emergency fund.
