Helping Cover The Cost of Life
FOR FAMILIES FACING BREAST CANCER
JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN
BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION OF THE OZARKS
Since 2000, Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks (BCFO) has provided help and hope to families facing breast cancer. Located in southwest Missouri, BCFO works with local communities to improve breast cancer screening rates and provide breast cancer families with the financial and emotional support they need.
BREAST CANCER
Nearly one out of every eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
Although breast cancer is most common in women over 40, it can affect anyone at any age. At BCFO, we know that the fight against breast cancer is never easy, taking a toll on family, friends, and loved ones.
HOW BCFO CAN HELP
Before 2000, no breast cancer organization worked exclusively in the Ozarks to provide direct financial assistance to patients in treatment for breast cancer. When established, Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks sought to fulfill this role to ensure that local charitable contributions would impact the local community.
In 2005, BCFO expanded this mission by partnering with local hospitals and health organizations to improve breast cancer screening rates. Since then, BCFO has provided free screening mammograms to the uninsured and underinsured. Additionally, we provide local breast cancer patients and survivors with emotional support through a support group and the mentoring program.
Today, we continue to expand our mission by giving other communities the tools to create their own safety net for breast cancer families. Check out BCFCF.org.
