Komen Advocacy Alliance
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Advocacy Alliance (KAA) is the non-partisan voice for over 2.5 million breast cancers survivors and the people who love them. Our mission is to translate the Komen promise to end breast cancer forever into action at all levels of government to discover and deliver the cures.
Help The BCCHP
In 2010, the Washington Breast and Cervical Health Program (BCCHP) provided potentially life-saving breast cancer screening, diagnostic and treatment services to uninsured or underinsured women in Washington. Without access to the BCCHP, these women will be forced to delay recommended screenings, leading to later diagnoses, larger tumors at diagnosis, fewer treatment options and lower chances for survival.
Governor Christine Gregoire’s Proposed 2011 Supplemental Operating Budget eliminates all state funding for the BCCHP. The cut of all state funding for January 1- July 30, 2010 would deny access to these potential life-saving services to the women who need them most.
On behalf of the breast cancer patients, survivors and advocates in the Komen for the Cure family, we urge you to contact your state legislators and ask them to reject Governor’s proposed cuts to the Washington Breast and Cervical Health Program.
Eastern Washington Affiliate Public Policy Committee
Our affiliate is an active participant of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance. We keep abreast of all current events relating to breast cancer legislative news across the state or nationally and communicate with our elected officials on issues that are important to our vision of a “World without breast cancer.” While we are volunteers, we take our work seriously. Everyone on the Public Policy Committee is a breast cancer survivor. Each one of us has a story to tell and a heart for those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer.
