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!
- Each year, over 240,000 women are diagnosed and more thank 42,000 continue to die.
- An estimated 2.7 million women are living with breast cancer in the US today. Forty years ago it was 1 in 24. Today it is 1 in 8.
- Breast cancer kills more women between the ages of 15 and 54 than any other type of cancer.
Our Goal
Over 85,000 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.
Through our “Investing in Prevention” campaign, 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.
