Gen Zs should not have to worry about breast cancer. We do.
With one in eight women diagnosed, we are surrounded by family and friends with the disease. Only 5-10% of causes are considered hereditary, 15-25% lifestyle and approximately 70% unknown. This science tells us that exposure to certain toxic chemicals used in everyday products up through a first full-term pregnancy is directly linked to an increased risk of a breast cancer diagnosis later on in life. At Protect Our Breasts, we engage our peers on high school and college campuses and in many cities throughout the country. We translate the newest science into social media posts sharing digestible prevention tips that try to keep us safe.
At the end of this semester, Protect Our Breasts will transition out of the Isenberg School as a multidisciplinary experiential learning course. Its new home will be with Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP). Student interns, who will now be from across the country, will manage POB under this respected San Francisco-based national nonprofit.
You can help POB/BCPP ensure that your college-aged daughters, sisters, friends, and loved ones have access to the pertinent information on the detrimental chemicals in everyday products and packaging. Your valuable contribution will help fund the expansion of Protect Our Breasts to other college campuses, and help us build relationships with Natural Product Expo industry leaders who are dedicated to bringing us safer products.
We hope you will join us in preventing breast cancer, now and in the future.
Thank You to Our Donors
