Founder’s Day celebrates the beginning of an era - one that breeds an urgent approach to breast health awareness. It celebrates the realization of our vision that is alive at The Denise Roberts Breast Cancer Foundation, which accomplishes its goals as a community of minority women and men fighting breast cancer.
As TDRBCF’s largest annual fundraiser, Founder’s Day serves as a key source of income. 100% of the funds raised supports our breast health and early cancer detection programs. Last year, we raised over $50K. This year, the goal is to raise $150K to secure and implement our programs in under-served communities.
In its 9th year, The Denise Roberts Breast Cancer Foundation (TDRBCF) continues to make strides in serving Los Angeles County with breast health education, emphasizing the importance of early cancer detection through mammograms, professional referrals, and simply knowing yourself.
As of today, TDRBCF has given hundreds of mammograms, over a thousand referrals to caring physicians, and through its Living Line Tele-support program, TDRBCF has counseled numerous women and men. This year the goal is to give more women mammograms, to educate more men about male breast cancer, and to encourage more high school and college students to develop healthy habits at an early age.
The cost of a mammogram is approximately $150. With your support, TDRBCF will be able to provide breast health screenings for over 1000 uninsured women and men under the age of 40.
