The NFHF helps fight breast cancer in two ways. We raise funds to support other breast cancer community organizations and we educate the public about the disease.
We give the money we raise through events, donations, and memorials to other community organizations that use those funds to provide breast cancer screening, treatment, and education to underserved women throughout New Mexico. In recent years, we have given more than $350,000 to breast cancer organizations around the state.
Our main fundraiser, the annual Nancy Floyd Haworth Memorial Breast Cancer Seminars and Luncheon combines a featured speaker with free educational seminars for the public.
Presbyterian Healthplex: To provide education, support, and exercise to breast cancer survivors, enabling them to return to their prior level of functioning.
YWCA Health Equity/Anita Salas Memorial Fund: To provide services to moderate to low income clients for diagnostic and follow up treatment.
UNM Cancer Center: Mobile Mammography Project which provides screening for women in rural New Mexico communities who would otherwise be underserved.
UNM Cancer Center: To provide training to community registered nurses for proficiency in performing clinical breast exams for women in rural areas of New Mexico.
People Living Through Cancer: To be used for the Supporting Sisters program which provides professionally led support services to breast cancer survivors under the age of 45.
Library Project: Provides funding to many public libraries in New Mexico for purchase of breast cancer resources.
We directly educate the public about breast cancer by offering free seminars on risk reduction, screening, and treatment options.
We also provide funds for breast cancer materials to many public libraries and Indian reservations around New Mexico.
Help us fight breast cancer by lending your time and talent or making a financial contribution to the NFHF.
