Ann Taylor and LOFT are two BCRF partner brands that prove there is strength in numbers. Ann Taylor and LOFT are among BCRF’s highest-fundraising retail partners, and since 2005, the brands have collectively donated over $58 million for groundbreaking research funded by BCRF. Last year, Ann Taylor and LOFT supported BCRF through the sale of limited-edition BCRF Collection jewelry and accessories, along with donations from Ann Taylor and LOFT Cares Card sales and donations at checkout. Through the Ann Taylor and LOFT Fund for Breast Cancer Prevention, the brands support tens of thousands of research hours each year in the focus area of breast cancer prevention.
This year, long-time BCRF partner, Ann Taylor Inc., will focus their generous support on research efforts directed toward breast cancer prevention. A world free from breast cancer includes preventing the disease from occurring in the first place. In 2021, the World Health Organization announced that breast cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world, surpassing lung cancer for the first time and impacting more than 2.3 million people globally. Soaring incidence rates can only be tamed through prevention. For this reason, Ann Taylor and LOFT are committed to funding research that stops this disease from ever taking root.
Three pillars of prevention research will greatly benefit from Ann Taylor, Inc.’s support: understanding the factors affecting breast cancer risk; improving early detection screening practices; and developing intervention strategies to reduce risk. BCRF and Ann Taylor, Inc. are proud to support researchers that are addressing all aspects of breast cancer prevention
