As of June 15, 2001, 305 million Breast Cancer Research Stamps have been sold since July 29, 1998, raising $21 million for biomedical breast cancer research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Defense (DoD) Breast Cancer Research Programs.

Save Lives

WIN Against Breast Cancer is proud to continue leading the efforts to ensure that the Breast Cancer Research Stamp is not discontinued next year (July 2002), as planned by the United States Postal Service.  Please stay “posted” for our calls to action and continue to support this historic stamp that continues to raise awareness and millions of dollars for vital research. 

Time is of the essence.  What you can do to help now:

Please e-mail us at mail@winabc.org to let us know why you feel that the Breast Cancer Research Stamp needs to be continued beyond next year.  Please include your name, city and state.   We would like to include this information in a proposal that we will be submitting next month (August 15, 2001 deadline) to the US Postal Service and to advise Congress of your support.  The deadline is almost here.  Please act now.  Your e-mail addresses will remain confidential and not be distributed.

We need your continued support to  "Fund the Fight to Find a Cure".   Together we can continue to make a real difference in the fight against breast cancer.  Please check back with us soon for an updated action alert and feel free to e-mail us (at address above) if you would like to receive our action alerts via e-mail.
