More information about our cause for fundraising: Causes for a Cure
The mission of Causes for a Cure is to secure funds by events and donations to benefit research specifically for Triple Negative and Metastatic Breast Cancers.
Currently, there is no targeted therapy reaching these types of cancers. Triple Negative typically targets young women (many with families), and only a few survive. Women do not die of breast cancer, they die of metastatic breast cancer, when the cancer reappears in a distant organ.
All research funds stay local. The founder, Betty Sommer, has a "hands on" connection with The Methodist Cancer Center where she serves on The Cancer Task Force Team and The President's Leadership Council at Methodist. Dr. Jenny Chang, a world-renown physician and researcher and her team, are passionate about discovery of a successful treatment for Triple Negative.
Causes for a Cure is also passionate about assisting community...local families in financial stress as a result of a cancer diagnosis. The organization has contributed $108,000 to research and $173,000 to our local families in need of financial assistance.
