What is The Feel
Your Boobies Foundation?
The
Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) breast cancer organization,
started in 2004. Our mission is to use media and other
unconventional methods to remind young women to “feel their
boobies”.
Why are you doing this?
Our
Founder, Leigh Hurst, was diagnosed in 2004 at the age of 33 with
breast cancer. She felt a lump that the doctors didn’t simply by
“feeling her boobies” (not through a traditional self-breast exam).
The Foundation is Leigh’s personal mission to share her story and
“feel your boobies” message with other young women to encourage
proactive breast health.
Where does the money come from to support your campaign?
The
Foundation and Reminder Campaign is funded by donations and
merchandise sales.
Are you affiliated with any other breast cancer organization?
The Feel
Your Boobies Foundation is not affiliated with any other breast
cancer organization. We are a grassroots organization run by Leigh
Hurst and hourly workers as funding allows.
Can my organization partner with The Feel Your Boobies Foundation?
We are
always open to corporate sponsors looking to fund our campaign.
Ideal partners are those organizations/companies whose goal is to
help us reach a new audience with our message as well as provide
revenue to support our campaign.
Can I donate to The Feel Your Boobies Foundation?
Yes, we
would not be in existence without any and all donations. Donations
can be made through our website or by mail: Feel Your Boobies
Foundation, PO Box 41, Middletown, PA 17057
Can The Feel Your Boobies Foundation sponsor my event?
The
Foundation does not sponsor or provide money to any outside
organizations or events. All funds we receive are used to create our
Reminder Campaign and related programs.
Can The Feel Your Boobies Foundation attend my upcoming event?
The
Foundation focuses solely on the creation of our online campaign
because we can reach the most people with our message this way. Due
to this, our budget does not allow for us to devote resources to
time and travel to attend community events. We do however,
appreciate your desire to support us and hope that our supporters
understand that our mission is to create a media campaign and that
time and resources can only be dedicated to this effort.
Can I obtain free materials from The Feel Your Boobies Foundation to
support my event?
Because we
are non-profit and grassroots, unfortunately we do not have the
funds to provide free materials to satisfy all the requests we
receive. Please see the
Downloads
and
Bulk Pricing sections of our website to learn about how to
download free materials or order materials.
If you are
a college organization, we currently have funding for a College
Outreach Program that provides free materials to approved
organizations. Please see the
Colleges
section
of our website to
learn more.
