Breast Cancer Action Kingston

Breast Cancer Action Kingston The Board of Directors is made up of members of BCAK, in good standing, of whom not less than one third must be survivors of breast cancer.

BCAK is a registered charity dedicated to breast cancer previvors, survivors, and thrivers by providing emotional, physical, and financial support and increasing awareness in Kingston and South Eastern Ontario Breast Cancer Action Kingston (BCAK) is a local, survivor directed, volunteer led, charitable organization whose purpose is to develop programs to educate, counsel and support women and men

living with breast cancer, as well as their families and the community at large. Our organization was established in the spring of 1993 In March 1994, a steering committee for BCAK was formed to direct the process and activities of the group. The first “Walk for Awareness” was held in 1994. The organization was officially incorporated in May 1995. All of our programs are paid for through the fundraising efforts of memberships, our annual Walk, Share the Care Golf Tournament, donations and BCAK directed fundraisers. Business organizations throughout the year hold various fundraisers on our behalf such as golf tournaments, fund raising events [silent auctions], fashion shows as well as bake sales, car washes and dress down days. BCAK does not receive any government grants or funding. A portion of the monies raised through our annual Walk in May, “Walk Together, Celebrate Life” held on the Saturday before Mother’s Day, are directed via the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation [UHKF] to local breast cancer research through applications to the Breast Cancer Action Kingston Research Grant Competition adjudicated by the KGH Research Development Committee. All monies raised remain for use in the local area.
