Partners for Breast Cancer Care does not receive federal, state, county or city funding. The organization relies on donations, volunteers and the support of more than 100 health care professionals who generously donate or discount their services to help clients access critical breast care. Through events like the annual Partners Pink Run and the support of donors and discounted services, the organization can provide a full care journey from mammogram to chemotherapy for just $4,450 – without the support of Partners for Breast Cancer Care, the standard cost for a full care journey can exceed $265,000. Since 1990, the organization has funded nearly 30,000 breast care procedures at an expenditure of $3.9 million.

Gold ($500), silver ($350) and bronze ($250) sponsorship opportunities are still available. To sponsor the 2026 Partners Pink Run, contact John@ApexPromoz.com.
