About Breast Cancer Foundation
BCF is a non-profit organisation set up in 1997 with the mission of eradicating breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. To achieve this, it propagates awareness and education through talks, seminars, exhibitions and publications, and advocates early detection through regular screening. Support and volunteer programmes are organised for survivors and their families through counselling and healing through art activities – all with the aim of helping survivors regain their active life after breast cancer. BCF is one of the few breast cancer advocacy groups in the world with a Men's Support League to emphasise men's roles in society's fight against this affliction.
Pink Ribbon Walk is back on 28 September 2013 at Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade! Gather your friends and family and join the walk against breast cancer. Early bird registrations now open! Sign up now at http://www.pinkribbonsingapore.com.
Join the BCF Education and Empowerment Programme – an integrated series aimed at building the right support context for women with breast cancer.
Registration is now open for the next run in July/August. This programme has been specially developed by BCF to help women diagnosed with breast cancer to cope with the physical and emotional impact of the diagnosis.
Free mammogram screenings will be made available to women from low-income groups under the BCF Encouragement for Active Mammograms (BEAM15) programme. Find out more.
About BCF's New Logo
The new logo comprises two ribbons placed side by side to form a heart, the universal symbol of both male and female. The two ribbons represent the changing relationship dynamics of society today, that information dissemination and moral support for breast cancer are no longer driven by women alone but by men as well. This is why the grey ribbon represents the male and the pink represents the female advocate. By pairing the grey with the pink, BCF is making a bold statement that breast cancer is no longer just about women but that men also play an equally important role in spreading the word.

BCF SUPPORT PROGRAMME
Providing emotional support and information
BCF recognises the importance of support for the newly diagnosed patient, the survivor walking the road to recovery, and the affected family members. Coping with breast cancer and its treatment can be difficult, and the ability of all those involved to stay mentally strong and healthy is crucial.
Come, join us at the monthly Support Group meetings and meet other breast cancer patients and survivors. Share in their experiences and coping strategies, ask questions and make new friends.
Patients, either newly diagnosed or undergoing treatments are welcome to join the meetings.
