Beneficiary of the Month - Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation (HKBCF)

About HKBCF

The Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation was set up on 8 March 2005, as a non-profit charitable organisation dedicated to eliminating the threat of breast cancer to the local community through education, support and research & advocacy.

Missions
• Promote public awareness of breast cancer and the importance of breast health
• Support breast cancer patients on their road to recovery
• Advocate better breast cancer care in Hong Kong

About HKBCF Video

The JWA and the HKBCF forged a strong partnership in 2012. Breast cancer is a disease which affects all women from all walks of life and Jewish Women are particularly vulnerable due to a "Jewish gene" that facilitates the dissemination of the disease.
