There’s
a day for Mother’s, Father’s, and your boss, a day for honoring our flag, our
veterans and our freedom. There is BlackFriday to go shopping, Cyber Monday to shop on line and so why not have a day for
giving? Welcome Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday that follows Thanksgiving!
There are so many ways that you can help HIS Breast Cancer with your donations so let us share
some suggestions from donations HIS Breast Cancer will receive when you shop on
line, sending your holiday wishes, or just meeting your end of the year
charitable tax deductions.
First, if you’re shopping on amazon this holiday or all year long,
first go to smile.amzon and choose from the list or search to
select HIS Breast Cancer Awareness as your charity of choice or click
directly on this link; http://smile.amazon.com/ch/27-
If you’re out of ideas on what to get or even IF you should be
buying someone a present, a donation card with your wishes makes the perfect and
most thoughtful gift. You can order one that we’ll mail for you or purchase a
pack of 10 cards. In addition to the holidays, you can keep them on hand all
year long to honor a birthday, send get well wishes, or offer a note of
congratulations. You make the acknowledgement, and the receiver appreciates
your kindness and learns that male breast cancer does exist; you might just
even save a life with awareness! To order one or purchase a pack, visit the SHOP page on the web site here; http://hisbreastcancer.org/shop.html
If you like to wait to the end of the year to choose your
charities and make your donations then please consider a donation to HIS BreastCancer. Your donations assist with offering insight, education
and awareness of Male Breast Cancer and Genetic knowledge and can be made directly on the web through paypal or you’re welcome to mail us a check.
Another great opportunity with your support will assist us to help educate through the very special produced documentary Pink And Blue. With your help, we can help to make this available for people to view, learn and save lives. Learn more and see the trailer for the documentary here;
It is projected that over 2,240 new cases of male
breast cancer will be
diagnosed and over 400 men will die from the disease. The percentage
fatality rate is often higher for men diagnosed with breast
cancer as usually no one is
checking and men don’t notice the symptoms as they are not even aware they can
be diagnosed with breast cancer. Men also do not have the options women
may with breast conserving surgery/treatment and so mastectomy is most often performed due to the
limited amount of tissue. Just imagine hearing the words as a man, or a
woman about her father, husband, son or any loved one; Sir,
You Have Breast Cancer! Breast cancer doesn’t just affect sisters and
daughter’s, breast cancer affects sons and brothers. In addition with the
current awareness of the BRCA gene mutation thanks to Angelina
Jolie, it’s important to note that 50% of the worlds BRCA (breast cancer susceptibilitygene)
carriers are male.
HIS Breast Cancer Awareness was formed in 2010 as a fully credited
nonprofit 501©3 organization to bring education, awareness, prevention and
lifestyle assistance to anyone dealing with Male Breast Cancer or having a family member with a
history of Breast Cancer. Vicki and Harvey (co-founders) are both Breast
Cancer Survivors and carry the BRCA gene mutation. Between them they have
5 sons, all who have a 50/50% to be BRCA positive which are also known factors in the
cause of Prostate,
Pancreatic, Melanoma and Ovarian as
well as many other cancers.
We know that we have already saved men’s lives and with your
support, we can reach so many more!
Please consider choosing HIS Breast Cancer as your charity to give and support this #GivingTuesday and through the holidays.
Thank you in advance for any donation in support of Male Breast
Cancer Awareness!
Happy and Healthy Holidays,
Modah Ani- I am Thankful
