Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization

Breast cancer has changed over the past 30 years, and so have we.

On Mother’s Day, as part of our Race to Empower™ and Walk to Empower™ events held across the country, we formally announced that our new name is Breast Cancer Network of Strength™. This exciting change kicks off our 30th Anniversary year. While our name has changed, our mission remains the same -- to ensure, through information, empowerment and peer support, that no one faces breast cancer alone.

 Thank you for an empowering Mother's Day!

Breast Cancer Network of Strength is pleased to announce that the 2008 Mother's Day Events welcomed over 50,000 participants with donations nearing $9 million -- and we are still counting! Very special thanks to those who participated and donated in this year's events.

This was DC's biggest and most successful Walk to Empower ever!  We welcomed nearly 2,000 walkers and raised over $360,000 together to support our programs and services that are offered free of charge to anyone touched by breast cancer. 

If you have participated or donated in the past, please log in.
