Why Support Y-ME?

For nearly 30 years, Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization has been working to ensure, through information, empowerment and peer support, that no one faces breast cancer alone.

Tremendous strides have been made in diagnosis and treatment, but with more than 215,000 people expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, there is still a huge need for breast cancer information and support. Y-ME meets that need by providing free-of-charge programs and services – 24-hours a day – to anyone touched by the disease. Y-ME remains a source of strength and comfort for those who need to connect with someone who truly understands what they’re going through and can answer their questions.

Your gift helps Y-ME continue to be an authoritative resource on breast cancer support and information, and guarantees that our services will always be free to those who need them.

All donations to Y-ME support our free of charge programs and services, helping people dealing with breast cancer today – those who can't wait for tomorrow's cure.

Y-ME is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Donations to Y-ME are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
