Where—thanks to prevention, detection, and treatment—breast cancer can’t claim one more life.
At BCRF, we work diligently to make this world a reality. Thanks to research, deaths from breast cancer have declined by 41 percent since our founding nearly three decades ago. BCRF-funded investigators have been involved in every major breakthrough in breast cancer research—a testament to the visionary leadership of our Scientific Advisory Board, which guides our investments in the brightest minds in science.
One day, breast cancer will be fully treatable. We know new therapies and innovations are within reach. Yet, we lose more than 43,000 people to breast cancer every year in the U.S. alone. Our researchers are working tirelessly in pursuit of the next advance in our mission to prevent—and cure—breast cancer. By generously including BCRF in your estate plans, you will fuel these critical discoveries, improve outcomes, and save lives.
By making a bequest to BCRF—a gift in your will or living trust that costs nothing in your lifetime—you can ensure future funding for critical breast cancer research.

A charitable lead trust provides support for BCRF now—and helps your loved ones in the future with potential tax deductions and/or savings.
Those who have included BCRF in their estate plans are cherished members of the Evelyn H. Lauder Legacy Society. Individuals who commit a legacy gift of $250,000 or more will be inducted into the Catalyst Circle. These commitments enable BCRF to fund groundbreaking research for years to come.
