Every October we see pink. Pink ribbons, pink clothing, pink hair, pink accessories. We see pink. Pink is the color of Breast Cancer Awareness. Pink is the color for looking for a cure.
I recently was asked, “which breast cancer charity is the best one?” My knee jerk answer was, “any”. But, after thinking about it, I asked them for some time to research it.

Many leading researchers, polls, and articles have recently named the Breast Cancer Research Foundation as the “best” breast cancer charity. The BCRF is the highest-rated breast cancer organization in the United States. The BCRF has over three hundred researchers located across the globe working to find a cure for breast cancer.

Are there other organizations that focus on breast cancer and breast cancer research? Yes. I have donated to them. I have family members and friends that have been diagnosed with breast cancer with both good and bad results. The BCRF is tirelessly working to find a cure.
