What We Fund
Research
We fund basic and clinical research because science is the key to finding a cure.
Equipment
We purchase much-needed hospital equipment to ensure timely and effective diagnosis and treatment of those affected with the disease.
Community services
We support community projects because those living with breast cancer today need support that extends far beyond what our health care system can do on its own.

The Rad.Onc.Bra
CURE has joined forces with the Cedars Cancer Foundation and the Bell Fund to fund the production of an innovative medical accessory developed by two radio-oncology technologists and a medical garment specialist. The Rad.Onc.Bra was created to reduce the severe burns and skin irritations suffered by breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.
