• We believe that the best way to beat breast cancer is by preventing breast cancer. The most effective means to this end is with annual thermograms or mammograms. The BBF offers these services free of charge to those who cannot afford them.
• We want to educate every woman in America about the importance of preventing breast cancer in their bodies. Our foot-in-the-door is our free screening offer. This is the first step for many women, and once they actually move forward with their checkup, we offer them the continuing education they need to take care of their body and most likely avoid breast cancer in the future. We also offer continuing education for the male loved-ones of all women. We have learned that most men do not have a working understanding of breast cancer and how this evil disease infects so many women.
• In 2020, the FDN begins a new chapter as a public charity exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our Federal Employer Tax ID number is 84-2047492. Our goal going forward is to provide 5,000 free mammograms/thermograms in 2020, doubling that number every year until we reach one million per year in 2027.
• This will change the national breast cancer conversation from “Awareness” to “Prevention,” which is the founder's ultimate goal in honoring Becky Baker.
