Greetings!
We feel it is now more important than ever for you to understand DBCC's mission, programs, funding, and outcomes. The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition is the only non-profit organization in Delaware focused solely on breast cancer and breast health. And for that, we owe you a big thank you. Your donations, volunteered hours, partnerships, and support allow us to serve the community.
We invite you to view our Annual Report, which includes information about how DBCC operates, who we serve, how we raise money, and where the money goes.
We want you to know that all of the money we raise here stays here and we are proud to report that eighty-seven cents of every dollar we raise goes directly to our programs and services. Our programs of education, community outreach, support and screening serve the local community in Delaware and our neighbors in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey. The dollars we raise help your community--your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors who have been impacted by breast cancer.
We thank you for your continued support and thank you for your leadership in the fight against breast cancer in Delaware and the surrounding communities.

DBCC asks Dr. Jacqueline Napoletano, DBCC Board Member and Radiologist at Christiana Care, about breast cancer risks, mammography, MRI and ultrasounds. In this four-part educational piece, Dr. Napoletano breaks the information down for you.
