Associate Board
The Y-ME Illinois Associate Board was organized to further develop the overall goals of the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization, Illinois Affiliate. The mission of the Y-ME Illinois Associate Board is to impact the fight against breast cancer through volunteering, increasing awareness and raising funds to support the programs and services of the Illinois Affiliate of Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization. Associate Board members volunteer their time and talent to increase awareness of Y-ME Illinois and the breast cancer cause throughout the Chicagoland area. These men and women also participate in service projects that directly impact patients and raise funds to support the free programs & services offered by Y-ME Illinois. Additionally, the Associate Board provides an opportunity for members to network, build rewarding relationships and develop leadership skills.
