Silhouette is proud to announce our partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. From now through November, a portion of sales of the Pink Edition Silhouette CAMEO® 3 will be donated to NBCF in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness month in October.

How NBCF Started

National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34.  At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options.  After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.

The Mission Of NBCF

NBCF’s mission is to help women now by providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education and support services.
Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women in the United States. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.
However, with increased healthcare costs and a rapidly increasing percentage of uninsured women, many simply cannot afford the cost of screening tests. These women are at a significantly higher risk of dying from breast cancer if later diagnosed.
That’s why NBCF provides free mammograms to women across the United States through our network of hospitals. We are now joining hands with people around the world to provide breast cancer education.

How NBCF Fulfills Its Mission

NBCF offers free, innovative programs that other organizations aren’t providing to women facing breast cancer so that no one faces breast cancer alone.   These programs include:

We at Silhouette, are beyond happy to be partnered with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. We know that through this partnership we will be able to change the lives of many women around the world.
