"Everyone knows someone close to them who has been diagnosed with breast cancer," said Peter Cancro, Founder and CEO, Jersey Mike's Franchise Systems, Inc. "We invite you to come into your local Jersey Mike's this weekend to support lifesaving research and treatment innovations."
In support of BCRF, Jersey Mike's is running a national TV commercial.
"Jersey Mike's has had a longstanding commitment to philanthropy," said BCRF President and CEO Donna McKay. "We are grateful for the opportunity to raise awareness of the critical need for research and for the support of our global legion of scientists."
According to BCRF, one in eight women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. But thanks to research, deaths from breast cancer have declined by 43 percent since BCRF was founded in 1993. And yet, still, too many women lose their lives to the disease every year. Together we can work to raise awareness and funds that fuel lifesaving breast cancer research, which means more treatments, more cures, faster.
About the Breast Cancer Research FoundationFounded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF is the largest private funder of breast cancer research in the world. By investing in the best minds in science to examine every aspect of the disease from prevention to metastasis, BCRF is accelerating the entire field and moves us closer to the answers we urgently need to be the end of breast cancer.
