Breast Cancer Survivor

I fully attribute my early diagnosis and successful recovery to the advances that have been made in breast cancer research through places like UAB - thanks to the support of the BCRFA. With the BCRFA, you know your contributions are going to help save lives in your local community. I appreciate your support in helping me fulfill the promise I made to myself when I was first diagnosed - to use my experience for good and help others! With Love, Madeline Patterson

Join me in funding research and saving lives. Help give hope to breast cancer patients and survivors with a gift to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my fundraising goal for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama and Bolt for Breast Cancer!

About the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama

Founded in 1996, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama (BCRFA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help find a cure for breast cancer by funding promising breast cancer research in Alabama and raising community awareness and funding for that research. BCRFA funds promote a comprehensive approach to battling breast cancer by promoting collaborative and innovative research to help diagnose, treat, prevent, and eradicate the disease.

With community support, BCRFA has invested over $15 million in life-saving breast cancer research and treatments across Alabama since its founding in 1996. Most recently, in December 2023, we announced an annual investment of $1.25 million to our grantee partners, including the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Auburn University, CerFlux, the Mitchell Cancer Institute at the University of South Alabama, the University of Alabama, Tuskegee University, and HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. All funding stays in Alabama, but the impact is worldwide.
