About Us

The mission of Find The Cause Breast Cancer Foundation is to fund scientific research on the environmental causes of breast cancer and to educate the public on prevention.

90% of those diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease!

Despite the billions of dollars that have been put towards researching treatments and cures, as the statistics below emphasize, the disease is still with us.

This year, nearly 270,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
More than 42,000 will lose their lives to the disease.
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
Breast cancer kills more women between the ages of 15 and 54 than any other type of cancer.

Our Goal

Prevent breast cancer!

Over 86,000 man-made chemicals are being used by industries across the globe. Is it a coincidence that over the last 40 years, breast cancer diagnoses have gone up, while we keep increasing our use of these synthetic compounds?

Our Solution

Fund the research and Find The Cause…

Find The Cause is funding a consortium of four scientific laboratories at Boston University and Tufts University. This is the first initiative of its kind, focusing on the environmental causes of breast cancer and capitalizing on the synergies of these teams of world renowned scientists who are working in collaboration to discover which chemicals cause breast cancer, how they cause it and how to prevent them from causing it.
