The ABCF Story
How ABCF Started
Alphonse Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 2019 by Martine Alphonse. He sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018 at the age of 41. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about triple negative breast cancer, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. After her sister lost her battle with cancer, Martine made a commitment to help women around by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.
The Mission Of ABCF
ABCF’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 ABCF 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 ABCF Fulfills Its Mission
ABCF 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:
- ABCF Mammography Program
- Patient Navigation
- Breast Health Awareness
On average, over 80% of our revenue is directed to our life-saving programs.
