Buy your tickets today! All proceeds benefit the Women's Cancer Fund at the Maine Cancer Foundation.

The Women's Cancer Fund exists within the Foundation. It was established in 2001 to ensure that resources would always be available for breast and other cancers that affect women. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women, and ranks second among cancer deaths in women behind lung cancer. The mission of the Women's Cancer Fund remains the same as the Foundations with grants awarded through competitive, open peer review.

There is one common board of directors, staff and grant process. The distinction lies in that donations may be restricted to the Women's Cancer Fund rather than remain in the general fund of the Foundation. Once restricted, funds may only be used for grants and programs for cancers that affect women. At this time, the Women's Cancer Fund is the only alternative to the general Fund; the Foundation does not provide any other disease or gender specific funds.

The Cure Breast Cancer for ME event is the primary source of funding for the Women's Cancer Fund. Started in 2001 as a luncheon, the event drew upwards of 500 people.

We do expect this event to sell out, so please act quickly to make your reservation. You can makeor $750 for a table of 10. Make your reservation online www.curebreastcancerforme.org. All the funds raised will stay 100% in Maine!!!
