Breast Cancer Research Foundation

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), is dedicated to ending breast cancer by advancing the world’s most promising research. Founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF is the largest private funder of breast cancer research in the world. BCRF invests in a wide range of research-from prevention to metastasis-because each area of investigation informs another. The Foundation convenes and connects the best minds in science, giving them the opportunity to pursue their most innovative ideas. BCRF-funded investigators have been behind every major breakthrough in breast cancer research, and the field is moving faster than ever. Since its inception, deaths from breast cancer have declined by 40 percent in the U.S
