Our national philanthropy is the Susan G. Komen Foundation and our main local philanthropy is the Ithaca Breast Cancer Alliance.
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women in America; however, early detection and prompt treatment can significantly reduce the suffering and deaths caused by this disease. We dedicate ourselves to Breast Cancer Awareness by educating ourselves, our college campuses, and our communities.
