Welcome

To our friends, community resources and partners,

We are excited to share with all of you our new name! Effective March 1, 2008, we are Breast Cancer Connections (BCC), formerly Community Breast Health Project.

After an incredible year-long process of talking with many of you, as well as volunteers, clients, donors, and community partners, we knew we needed a name that would work harder for us and communicate what we do and what we are all about. Thanks to all the great input, we are proud to unveil a name that we know will help us to reach out to more women and families who need us, and to emphasize to the community what we are all about: Connections to caring people, to helpful resources, and to the support and information that will make someones experience with breast cancer easier.

Sincerely, BCC Staff

For more on the name change, see our March newsletter.
