CBCCF ANNOUNCES 2009 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Connecticut Breast Cancer Coalition Foundation (CBCCF) is pleased to announce it’s newly elected 2009 Board of Directors.  President:  Leslie Handelman, Vice President: Denise Mariconda, Secretary: Marie Rose, Treasurer: Sandra Calabro.  Additional Board members include:  Susan Anderson, Donna Boehm, Kathy Brady, Katherine Clements, Jessica Durand, Nick Mandelkern, Shirley Pinette, Barbara Poggio and Diane Walczok.  The CBCCF is a statewide organization comprised of all volunteers with representation by breast cancer survivors, business leaders, educators and healthcare advocates.

The Connecticut Breast Cancer Coalition Foundation is a statewide grassroots organization dedicated to eradicating breast cancer through advocacy and education.  A priority of the CBCCF is equal access to quality healthcare for everyone facing breast cancer.  Through State and Federal legislative action, CBCCF members advocate for laws that support breast cancer patients.  Successes include collaborative efforts with other breast cancer organizations to pass Bills including The Wig Bill- that mandates payment for wigs for women with hair loss due to chemotherapy and legislation that ended “drive thru” mastectomies by mandating a 48 hour hospital stay for anyone who undergoes a mastectomy.


The CBCCF Breast Cancer Emergency Fund provides financial assistance to patients with non medical emergency expenses arising from the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Money for the fund is generated by private donations and fundraising efforts including sales of the “Working for a Cure” license plate.
