Why Sponsor ABCF?

  • ABCF is a 501(c) 3, national nonprofit organization that provides numerous high-visibility events and unique opportunities for sponsor recognition each year.  These include:
    • An annual golf tournament at Bulle Rock with participants and sponsors who are likely representative of your target market.  Current sponsors include CareFirst, Heritage Bank, Wells Fargo, and BMW/Porsche of Towson, among others.
    • Signage and other collateral materials provided during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October)
    • Outreach activities and materials for ABCF’s national Fit for Life campaign.
  • ABCF provides direct service to its clients—the uninsured and the underserved.  We fund breast cancer screening and treatment for men and women, young and old.  At ABCF, we fight for everyone.
    • Many organizations that provide funding for breast cancer screening and treatment, only fund services for women over 40 and have limited funding.  However, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has estimated that in 2012, approximately 2,190 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men, and that about 410 men will die from breast cancer.
    • Some organizations that provide funding for breast cancer screening and treatment do not provide services for persons under age 40.  However, by the time a lump can be felt in a young woman, it is often large enough and advanced enough to lower her chances of survival.  In addition, the cancer may be more aggressive and less responsive to hormone therapies.  Breast cancer diagnostic tests are a key tool for breast cancer screening and diagnosis for younger persons.

We are looking for annual corporate sponsors who understand and appreciate that we bring our clients and our sponsors a first-class experience.  We are inclusive, proactive, and ready to partner with like-minded organizations to provide increased exposure and visibility, and involvement in a cause that affects us all in some way, either personally or through a member of our family.

    “Paraco Gas could not be more thrilled to be a part of the fight against breast cancer. Joining forces with the American Breast Cancer Foundation has been an amazing experience. In the short time that we have been a part of the program the exposure has been incredible. We have been well received by both our staff as well as the communities in which we service.”

    ~ Joe Armentano, CEO of Paraco Gas Corp.

    “From the first moment I heard about the program to support ABCF through participation by propane marketers, I knew this was something I wanted JARCO Propane Trucks to support. (We have been) successful in obtaining contributions from twelve companies (including JARCO) who agreed to donate all or a portion of the cost of their equipment or services to ABCF. Additionally, JARCO collaborated closely with its decal supplier and with Bryan to ensure that a great design was created to drive the highways of Colorado catching people’s attention at every turn. The striking pink-themed paint and decal design is a winner!”

    ~ Nancy Coop, President of Jarco Propane trucks

    “This really has been such a rewarding experience. Everywhere I drive the truck people give me the thumbs-up sign and big smiles. It is a break from the everyday driving experience. We’ve taken the truck to parades and it brings such joy to everyone who sees it; the community cheers and claps in appreciation. I can’t tell you how rewarding it is to know that we as a company are doing our part to help control this horrible disease.”

    ~ Jim Rymes, President, Rhymes Heating & Oils, NH

    “Tri Flame Propane and I are proud to support Breast Cancer Awareness, with the pink ribbon truck. I was overwhelmed by how many lives are affected by Breast Cancer. At a local yearly function with the pink ribbon truck, my 18-year-old daughter and I handed out Key to Life information. The response of thousands of women and men was eye opening. For myself, my daughter and Tri Flame Propane, we will always support this program.”

    ~ Mike Bitker, President, Tri Flame Propane, CA
