The Breast Cancer Site was founded to help offer free mammograms to women in need — women for whom early detection would not otherwise be possible. Since its launch in October 2000, the site has established itself as a clear leader in online activism and in the fight to prevent breast cancer deaths.

The issue of breast cancer is painfully close to many people’s hearts. Each year, 182,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 43,300 die. Almost everyone knows someone whose life has been affected by a breast cancer diagnosis or that of a loved one. The Breast Cancer Site provides a feel-good way to help promote awareness and prevent breast cancer deaths every day — through easy online activities.

With a simple, daily click of the pink button at The Breast Cancer Site, visitors help provide mammograms to those in need. Visitors pay nothing. Mammograms are paid for by the site’s sponsors and distributed by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.

Access to mammography is a critical issue. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women ages 40 - 55. Early detection is the key to survival and better treatment options, and mammography is among the best-known methods of early detection. Yet, 13 million women in the U.S. over 40 have never had a mammogram.

In addition to clicking the pink “Fund Free Mammograms” button, visitors can make early detection and survival of breast cancer possible by shopping in The Breast Cancer Site store. With each item purchased, shoppers generate funds for free mammograms for women in need. The store offers a wide array of items to show your support, including pink ribbon jewelry and apparel.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and this is a cool t-shirt for any girl wanting to have something that little bit special to mark this month. Any penguin is cute, but this one is wearing its pink ribbon with pride.

Caring for your family is important to you. So taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Don’t just do it for yourself. Do it because it’s the unselfish thing to do.

This is a really great “learn to be a survivor” t-shirt for Breast Cancer Awareness.
