This Month’s Featured Organization is the Keep A Breast Foundation
The Keep A Breast Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. Their mission is to help eradicate breast cancer by exposing young people to methods of prevention, early detection and support. Through art events, educational programs, and fundraising efforts, they seek to increase breast cancer awareness among young people so they are better equipped to make choices and develop habits that will benefit their long-term health and well being.
Combining sculpture, philanthropy, and symbolic artistry, The Keep A Breast Foundation is a breast cancer awareness organization unlike any other. For example, KAB creates one-of-a-kind plaster forms of the female torso that are customized by fine artists and auctioned to raise consciousness and funding for breast cancer research and treatment. The casts are physical representations of a simple truth—while breast cancer attacks all women without prejudice, it is the powerful individual present in all women that will conquer it. KAB’s goal is to bring a fresh perspective to this important cause in a way that is relevant and inspiring to today’s youth.
Keep A Breast had produced events across the globe raising thousands of dollars on behalf of local, national, and international organizations such as the Young Survival Coalition, Susan G. Koman Foundation, The Breast Cancer Fund, Asha-Killgallen Fund, Kapi’olani Breast Center, and Europadonna, to name a few.
Keep A Breast has partnered with companies like Roxy, Macbeth Athletics, Girlz Garage, D.M. Steele, and Creative Deployment in an ongoing effort to fight against breast cancer.
