Overview

Mission

Support breast cancer survivors to maintain wellness of mind, body and spirit through support, education and physical activity.

What it reported doing in 2025

The corporation's charitable purposes include providing support, education, and physical programs for women diagnosed with cancer. These programs support breast cancer survivors to achieve and maintain wellness of mind, body and spirit through emotional support, education, and physical activity. Examples of these programs include surviorship conferences, educational seminars and dragon boat and other paddling events and programs for cancer survivors and the public which further educate the community about cancer prevention, treatment and survival.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
