A Question I am Constantly Asked
The Becky Baker Foundation is the only breast cancer Resource Center in the United States, and it’s located in the Pueblo Mall, Pueblo, Colorado. Our Center offers No Cost shopping to any family affected by breast cancer.
Since we opened eight months ago, we’ve done amazing things and even gone beyond what we set out to do. We’ve helped over 11,000 shoppers, 1,400 families, and given over $3 million in new merchandise to these Colorado families who’ve been touched by breast cancer.
The Pueblo Mall has been super generous and donated the store space to the Foundation, and The United Breast Cancer Foundation has given us all the new merchandise to distribute to these families for free.
So, why Pueblo? (Click the button to continue reading)

Since that fateful day, Rick has strived to know more about breast cancer and shares here how you too can know enough to help prevent breast cancer in your loved one, or if already present, how to provide meaningful and powerful support that your family member needs to fight this evil disease.
