About the BCEF (
Breast Cancer Emergency Fund):
Since April 2001, Breast Cancer Emergency Fund (BCEF) has been providing emergency financial assistance to San Francisco's low-income women and men battling breast cancer. In August of 2009, BCEF began providing emergency financial assistance in San Mateo County. To date BCEF has awarded more than 1700 grants, totaling more than $800,000, helping our clients pay their rent, utilities, dental and medical bills while they were in active treatment and were too sick to work.
