November 1, 2023- Since 2005, Medline has supported community efforts to increase awareness, enhance patient care and improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients, survivors and their families. This year, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Medline Foundation presented two outstanding nonprofit organizations with grants that help expand access to healthcare for people diagnosed with breast cancer.
SHARE Cancer Support, based in New York City, received the first-ever Pink Glove Grant, a $25,000 award partially funded through a portion of proceeds from Medline’s Pink Sense Nitrile Exam Gloves. The grant recognizes SHARE’s dedication since 1976 to empower, educate and holistically support anyone diagnosed with breast, metastatic breast and now gynecologic cancers.
Also supporting its goal to advance access to healthcare for all people affected by breast cancer, the Medline Foundation awarded $25,000—one of 11 Community Impact Grants awarded this year—to the Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC) in Austin, Texas. BCRC empowers breast cancer patients and families with personalized support and compassion.
