CFTC believes that survivorship begins on the day of diagnosis. Once treatment is complete, the return to "normal" can be a daunting experience. CFTC support goes beyond that acute phase, helping women connect to their optimal future -- by assisting with updating resumes, coaching on how to seek job opportunities and preparing for that all important job interview.
Over half of every dollar goes directly to women who are uninsured or underinsured with financial gaps impacting their ability to complete treatment. Remaining dollars are utilized to support outreach activities and fundraising initiatives to enable the important work of CFTC to continue and grow.
CFTC is able to provide this financial "safety net" through its fund raising initiatives such as our "Until We Lick Women's Cancer" Calendar, 5K Walk / Fun-Runs, Women's Doubles Tennis Tournaments, and our Annual Critters (and Couture!) for the Cure Fashion Show Gala with Bloomingdales.
In addition to the direct financial support, and fundraising, over 1000 hours are spent each year working with cancer navigators and their patients to help patients during and after treatment.
