Coalition of Blacks Against Breast Cancer (CBBC)

Coalition of Blacks Against Breast Cancer (CBBC) The Phoenix Metropolitan area population is approximately 3 percent African American/ African descendant, or 300,000 out of 4 million people.

Our mission is to provide high quality, reliable information and support to black breast cancer patients within the Phoenix metropolitan area, and to educate the black community about breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, and screening. Nationally, one in eight women, as well as a minority of men, will be affected by breast cancer. Within the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, the percentage of women diagn

osed with early stages of disease is lower than Caucasian women. Importantly, the percentage of female breast cancer cases diagnosed as Stage IV (metastatic) in 2009 is twice as high as other ethnic groups (8 versus 4%). Nationally, the survival for breast cancer in African American women lags behind other ethnic group. Within the Phoenix Metropolitan area, there is no group specifically targeting black women and men with breast cancer. As well, there is no website that provides information regarding breast cancer specifically targeting the black population regarding information related to the cancer diagnosis and treatment, or prevention and screening. There is also no social media supporting our community of black breast cancer survivors.

🏈 Congratulations to Larry Fitzgerald — Pro Football Hall of Famer!

The Coalition of Blacks Against Cancer (CBAC) proudly congratulates Larry Fitzgerald on his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Larry’s legacy extends far beyond the football field. In 2025, CBAC was honored to recognize him for his extraordinary commitment to service, advocacy, and creating healthier communities with the Barbra Watson-Riley Community Impact Award.

Through the Larry Fitzgerald Foundation and its Breast Believe initiative, Larry has used his platform to raise awareness about breast cancer, encourage early detection and screenings, and help expand access to resources for individuals and families impacted by the disease. His dedication to this work reflects a deeply personal commitment to ensuring more people have the knowledge and support they need.

Today, we celebrate not only a legendary athlete, but a remarkable community champion whose impact will be felt for generations.

Congratulations, Larry Fitzgerald, on this historic and well-deserved honor! Your CBAC family is proud to celebrate you.
