The Breast Cancer Alliance is a non-profit organization with a mission to help improve survival rates and quality of life for those diagnosed with breast cancer. By raising money through events such as a charity poker tournament, the BCA can more effectively help women prevent and detect breast cancer early, and to provide treatment and care for patients.
The virtual charity poker tournament will be livestreamed and include a silent auction. All proceeds from the event will go to the BCA's efforts to provide innovative breast cancer research.
According to BreastCancer.org, approximately 1 in every 8 U.S. women will develop breast cancer at some point in life. Prevention, proper treatment, and early diagnosis are crucial in improving survival rates for those at risk or suffering from breast cancer.
