We provide $100,000/year to Lynn Sage Scholars - Dr.s devoted to breast cancer research. Our fund's provide Scholars an opportunity to do preliminary research and acquire larger grants.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women but also afflicts men and has touched most families. Almost 200,000 people/year are diagnosed in the US with this terrible disease. Almost 50,000 people die annually in the US from breast cancer. For $100,000/year we can support one Scholar's breast cancer research efforts to find a cure.
In Good Taste occurs during October, Breast Cancer Awareness month. The project relies upon the participation of restaurants, boutiques and beauty salons which ask their patrons to donate to help us find a cure.
We are hoping to find a cure for breast cancer and will continue raising funds and awareness of our cause until this objective has been met. Breast cancer prevention and treatment have been greatly improved because of past Lynn Sage Scholar's work.
Thank you for your support...We are in the process of finding genes that are responsible for breast cancer and creating a model that will predict risk of breast cancer based on genetic tests.
