Give at Work
If you participate in the United Way or your employer’s workplace giving campaign, consider designating your contributions to Y-ME.  Workplace giving is an easy, convenient way to show your support for Y-ME and our free-of-charge programs and services.

If your local United Way campaigns do not list Y-ME, you may write in "Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization" on the pledge card, along with this address: 135 S. LaSalle St., Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60603.

 
Matching Gifts
Double or triple your impact with employer matching funds. Many employers will match your personal donation.  Check with your company for more information on matching gift programs.  Employer matching gifts may also be available to you if you are the spouse of an employee, a retired employee or the spouse/widow/widower of a retiree.  To donate with a matching gift, request your employer's matching gift form.  Fill out the form and send it, along with your gift, to:

Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization
135 S. LaSalle St. Suite 2000
Chicago, IL 60603

We will send you a gift receipt and file the matching gift form with your employer.
