Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

For 2020, like most nonprofits, COVID has reduced our programming due to limited numbers to safely meet in person. We have pivoted to virtual Infinite Boundaries retreats for Q1 2021. We have also been limited on fundraising with limited in person events, 2 BCR hosted events are in person only and were canceled in 2020. Hoping to host in 2021.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Breast Cancer Recovery's flagship program, Infinite Boundaries retreat, is a four day wellness retreat for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Designed by breast cancer survivors for breast cancer survivors, each retreat features a unique mixture of healing approaches, including discussions on sensitive topics, creative arts, and outdoor activities. There is healing in nature and retreats are held in beautiful locales. Women who attend Infinite Boundaries retreat are in all stages of breast cancer and all ages. Some are newly diagnosed while others may have been treated for breast cancer years ago, while others are fighting metastatic disease. We provide additional scholarships for those in need.

Our goals for 2021 are increasing our educational programming, Sharing the Knowledge, from 4 to 8 events. Along with hosting 4 virtual retreats, and a goal of 4 in person if we are able in Q3 & 4.

Our virtual programming has worked very well to date, and hope to expand this technology for women with breast cancer.

As many are ready to move forward with virtual programming, we are reaching out to many of our sponsors and supporting businesses to expand their financial support.

We also hope to apply for a few more grants in 2021

We have a small staff at the moment, and are working on recruiting volunteers and board members.

We have updated our marketing towards virtual programming, and are starting contact with the Year end ask of potential sponsors and corporate partners for our Sharing the Knowledge.
