LinkedIn is almost as popular as Facebook and an excellent professional networking tool. I found a number of LinkedIn communities who are working to raise breast cancer awareness. Reminder: To access/join any of these groups, you must have a LinkedIn Profile and be logged in. To log in or create a profile, please visit the LinkedIn website.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation mission is to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need. NBCF accomplishes this mission through our initiatives, such as the National Mammography Program (NMP), Beyond the Shock educational video, MyNBCF online community, and the Early Detection Plan. NBCF programs provide women help for today and hope for tomorrow.
Pink Cures was started by an 11-year old girl, Tara, whose friend lost her mother to breast cancer, and Tara's mom. Together they make and sell breast cancer jewelry and gifts, and donate 100% of the proceeds to breast cancer research.
Triple Negative Breast Cancer's mission is to raise awareness of triple negative breast cancer and to support scientists and researchers in their effort to determine the definitive causes of triple negative breast cancer, so that effective detection, diagnosis, prevention and treatment can be pursued and achieved.
Feeling the Pink - Breast Cancer Awareness. The group is about educating men and women about self breast examinations and healthy breast issues. The message that Early Detection Saves Lives needs to be promoted. In 2005 Breakthrough Breast Cancer carried out a Boob survey where thousands of women were asked if they had checked their breasts within the past 28 days..82 % said that they had not and 47% alarming said they did not know how to undertake a self examination.This group will address those issues.
Back in the Swing is the first and only national nonprofit organization providing grassroots awareness, education and fundraising on behalf of the more than 2 and a half million breast cancer survivors in the United States to empower them to get back in the swing of life physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I (Diana Whaley Magers) started a group of Breast Cancer Awareness called Fight Like a Girl. I would like for you and your friends to join and maybe get an discussion going of your topic of interest on how to deal with and giving support to women that suffer with this disease. Thank you very much.
