Events - Georgia Breast Cancer Coalition Fund

Educate. Advocate. Eradicate.

The Georgia Breast Cancer Coalition Fund (GBCCF) is working to make a difference for the more than 6,000 women in Georgia who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Since 1994, GBCCF has been instrumental in breast cancer education and advocacy. Through our collaborative efforts with the National Breast Cancer Coalition and other breast cancer advocates, dollars earmarked for breast cancer research have quadrupled and the fight to eradicate breast cancer has been brought to the forefront of the public’s awareness.

Signature Events

Georgia Lobby Day

In 1994, The Georgia Breast Cancer Coalition Fund initiated a specialized annual event designed to bring together legislators and breast cancer survivors. For more than 16 years, this unique event featured a breakfast where Georgia’s elected officials could hear from survivors about breast cancer issues that were important to them. GBCCF also honored those legislators whose efforts have advanced the fight against breast cancer. In 2011, GBCCF turned a new page and hosted a luncheon to foster an environment where legislators, survivors and advocates could partner in the fight against breast cancer.
