BCF Screening Program

For the last decade, the Foundation has been funding free mammograms and ultrasounds for those who need them, as awareness has increased, more women (and some men) are coming forward to take advantage of this free screening program, most insurance cover, this is part of the ‘Wellness Cover’ is so low that it does not cover the full cost, this is where we step in. In 2022 due to demand, we expect our Screening Program to double in cost.

BCF Awareness Program

We run a full-on Awareness Program, we bring our team presentation, either in the form of an information table or as a video presentation with Q&A to any Community or Business and any size audience 2- 2000 getting the message out there “Early Detection Saves Lives” is what is important. We are also available to attend schools and colleges. Age is not a barrier to being diagnosed with breast cancer, the majority of our 350 registered patients and survivors are under 50, 20 years of age being the youngest person BCF has assisted after a breast cancer diagnosis. Self-examination is vital for all but especially those under 40 who are not getting a regular screening.
