Companies, patient advocacy organizations, academia, patients, and families: start teams to support causes and services benefiting breast cancer patients

COLUMBIA, MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, December 7, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) Foundation, a charitable 501c3 organization that provides free support programs for breast cancer patients and caregivers and funds research and community outreach, is hosting its 2nd Annual Virtual 5K Race for Every Breast Cancer Survivor, Saturday, May 14, 2022. The unique event aims to be the first ever breast cancer race designed to raise the profile and increase financial support of a multitude of organizations that serve breast cancer patients and their families. Last year’s Virtual 5K Race for Every Breast Cancer Survivor was a success with engaged teams and individuals across 16 countries and 5 continents. Check out #Race4BreastCancer on twitter, facebook, LinkedIn, and instagram to see great videos and photos from the event last year.

Corporate teams are welcome and encouraged. Last year's corporate teams used this event as a way to show support for the breast cancer survivors in their community, as well as for morale and team-building during this difficult time with COVID-19. When Endomag CEO Eric Mayes, PhD, was asked about last year’s Virtual 5K Race for Every Breast Cancer Survivor, he said, “What an amazing breadth of engagement across countries, industry, academia, clinicians and patients – it’s this type of engagement that really wins the big battles as we’ve seen in the last year!”

There is no cost to start a team, and the ASBrS Foundation will promote your goodwill to our U.S.-based and international audiences.

Other breast cancer and breast health patient advocacy nonprofits can use this as fundraiser and promote their cause and services. These organizations may do a fundraiser through the Virtual 5K Race for Every Breast Cancer Survivor by setting up a team for their nonprofit. There would be no cost to start a team, and the American Society of Breast Surgeons Foundation will collaborate to promote your involvement to its U.S. and international networks for free. Organizations interested in doing this should contact the ASBrS Foundation for more details.

“We are excited to offer this creative and fun opportunity to support other organizations who serve breast cancer patients. We can do a lot more to help these patients and their families when we work together,” said ASBrS Foundation Chairman Beth Boyd, RN.
