2018 Grant Fundraiser

Grants

Since 2005 CTBHI has given out over $3.95 million in grants toward the fight against breast cancer through research, support and education.

Our mission is to make a difference locally in the fight against breast cancer through support, education and research.  To accomplish this mission, CT BHI plans on funding a diversified portfolio of clinical/ translational research with emphasis on programs that have not yet qualified for federal grants targeting breast cancer cause and survival.

Through the support of our signature fundraiser, the CT RACE IN THE PARK, the Annual Howard Belkin Memorial Golf Tournament, other events, individual donations and corporate support, the CT BHI will contribute monies this year to programs that aim to fulfill our mission.

Donate or Volunteer

CT BHI depends on the generosity and energy of its donors, volunteers, sponsors and partners to provide much needed funding to relevant and promising education and research in Connecticut.
