With a commitment to personalized care, we are the only national breast cancer organization in Canada dedicated exclusively to raising funds for cutting-edge research, while advocating and educating on the latest scientific breakthroughs.
Progress Through Research

Patient Tools
Our suite of digital tools are each designed to help individuals better manage their breast cancer journey through education, research and personalized insights, while also elevating the patient voice.
Patient Stories
Every breast cancer journey is unique, but together, these stories paint a powerful picture of progress. Through firsthand accounts from patients and survivors, we share stories that highlight the lived-experiences of breast cancer.
Fuel Progress
Progress happens when we invest in it. Canada is home to some of the world’s brightest minds in research. Together, we are advancing science, ensuring it leads to earlier detection, better treatments, and improved outcomes for patients across the country.
The more we know, the sooner we can end it.
Access to innovative treatments isn’t a privilege—it’s a necessity. By pushing for policies that prioritize patient-centered decision-making, we hold decision-makers accountable, ensuring that breast cancer care in Canada is not only effective but also fair and accessible to all.
