Foundation for Breast Cancer Care (FFBCC) (2013 - 2023).
[edit]Originally named ‘Breast Surgeons Foundation’, this Australian registered health promotion charity ACNC was formed in 2013 as part of the strategy of the newly established Breast Surgeons Society of Australia and New Zealand (BreastSurgANZ)[1] . Its role was to be an independent philanthropic entity for aligned Breast Cancer Projects, reflecting its surgical origin. It was involved in successful fundraising, attracted sponsorship, and launched projects which reflected its causes. The COVID-19 pandemic limited the possibilities for community fundraising, causing the discontinuance of the Foundation . The initial strategic plan of the Foundation identified four causes:
- Better outcomes for marginalized women
- Surgery to preserve body shape
- Chemotherapy before surgery
- World’s Best Practice
