The Breast Cancer Research Foundation was established in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, a breast cancer survivor and senior corporate vice president of The Estee Lauder Companies, with the intention of bringing about a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime.
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is an independent 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative clinical and translational research at leading medical centers worldwide and increasing public awareness about good breast health.
In 2002, BCRF expanded its mission to include prevention as well as cure, reflecting the direction of its research grants aimed at prevention as well as treatment. Since inception, BCRF has increased its annual funding level more than 200 times over, with grants now supporting more than 170 scientists based in 10 countries (and with projects extending to 28 countries)--a very long way from the $159,000 to eight researchers awarded in 1994.
Breast cancer is preventable and curable within our lifetime. The only thing that stands between today and a cure is funding. Private support of research is more crucial than ever before.
