About

About/Staff Board Locations Newsletter Employment
 

The mission of the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation is to support all individuals healing from breast cancer by providing post-surgical products and services regardless of financial status.

We provide quality products and emotional support. Our goal is to empower and care for each client as a whole person.

Our History

HERS Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1998 by three dynamic women: Tricia J. McMahon, a breast health consultant, Cheryl A. Maloney, a fundraising executive, and Nancy J. Vitale, a tax consultant. They were motivated by concern for women and the high incidence of breast cancer as well as the lack of specific services for breast cancer survivors.
