Dr. Margaret Devore, a retired physician with the Medical College of Georgia, was one of the first and a major financial contributor in sponsoring the Breast Cancer Prevention Coalition for non-profit status. Being a breast cancer survivor, she realized the need for this coalition in helping move MCG forward with local fundraising for breast cancer research and volunteer efforts. So was born the BCPC.
The mission of the Breast Cancer Prevention Coalition is to both support research for finding a cure to this disease as well as offer our support to anyone who is struggling with it. Most of our members have experienced the fight with breast cancer, and many are eager to share their experiences, faith and wisdom with those who are staring down that road. Life is a gift. Our mission is about sharing that gift.
2009 looks to be an important year for the BCPC as we will launch the first of what we hope will be an annual golf-tournament fundraiser. And, beginning with its opening in January of 2010, many of the members of the BCPC will be volunteering at the Medical College of Georgia's new state of the art Cancer Center.
