Dear Friend,
This Breast Cancer Awareness month, Zero Breast Cancer celebrates becoming a project of Collaborative for Health & Environment (CHE), a program of Commonweal. This new partnership expands our reach and deepens our impact, especially in limiting chemical exposures in multiple generations and serving people with a history of cancer.
CHE brings ZBC under the umbrella of Commonweal, which also hosts other cancer programs such as CancerChoices, the Cancer Help Program, Healing Circles, and The New School. With facilitation by CHE Director Kristin Schafer, these programs are collaborating to explore synergies and we’re excited to bring Zero Breast Cancer into the fold.
You can read about ZBC joining CHE and Commonweal collaborations in the blogs by Kristin linked below. We invite you to explore CHE’s website and sign up for CHE emails. There you will learn more about CHE’s focus on environmental health, which has been central to ZBC’s mission since its founding as Marin Breast Cancer Watch in 1996.
We’re excited that ZBC is continuing all of our well-established programs, including our work on breast cancer survivor health and wellness. We hope you will join us for our fourth webinar with our partners at the Pathways Breast Cancer Survivorship Study on Tuesday, October 29 from 12 - 1pm PDT: “Breast Cancer, Diet, and Heart Health: How the Pathways Study is Informing Lifestyle Medicine.” Learn more and register here.
Also, if you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, we would love to see you at Cavallo Point Thursday, October 10 from 5:30 - 8pm for their annual BFF Night to benefit Zero Breast Cancer. Learn more and get your tickets here.
Whether or not you can make it to these Breast Cancer Awareness Month events, please consider bolstering our success at our new home with CHE and Commonweal this October with a gift of any size. Your donation could be in honor or memory of a loved one with a history of breast cancer, or simply in support of our ongoing work. As always, we are so grateful for your generosity.
