The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. NBCF's mission is to provide help and inspire hope for those affected by breast cancer through their early detection, education, and support services. The NBCF has provided over 300,000 mammograms and diagnostic services to women in need across the country since launching the National Mammography Program and continued to grow their impact through their various programs and services.Additionally, NBCF is recognized for its clear commitment to financial transparency & stewardship, and has been recognized by Charity Navigator, Greater NonProfits, and GuideStar for its commitment to transparency and accountability.
