Living Brave Through Breast Cancer is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, founded in September of 2017. Our mission is to be the premier provider of support to women and men diagnosed with breast cancer within the first three to five years.
We educate the community about the importance of early detection of breast cancer through our free community-focused Annual Early Detection Awareness (EDA) Symposium, held on the 3RD Saturday, in the month of October.
Living Brave-TBC is more than a non-profit organization, we are a family of families consisting of fighters, survivors, caregivers, and supporters.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to implement our mission whilst also continuing building the breast cancer community throughout the nation.
No one should have to fight cancer alone due to external hardships.
REFERRALS
Our organization is based on referrals from medical facilities, family members, or friends of those who are currently battling or have recently battled breast cancer within the first three to five years. We provide support to those who are dealing with the aftereffects of treatment, as well as those who have struggled mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially due to breast cancer.
Living Brave TBC, along with a host of Guardian Angels, considering our founding motto "Each One Reach One", is determined to be a support to the breast cancer community.
