Our Mission

• We believe that the best way to beat breast cancer is by preventing breast cancer. The most effective means to this end is with annual thermograms or mammograms. The BBF offers these services free of charge to those who cannot afford them. • We want to educate every woman in America about the importance of preventing breast cancer in their bodies. Our foot-in-the-door is our free screening offer. This is the first step for many women, and once they actually move forward with their checkup, we offer them the continuing education they need to take care of their body and most likely avoid breast cancer in the future. We also offer continuing education for the male loved-ones of all women. We have learned that most men do not have a working understanding of breast cancer and how this evil disease infects so many women. The BBF is a public charity exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our Federal Employer Tax ID number is 84-2047492. Our goal going forward is to provide 5,000 free mammograms/thermograms in 2021, doubling that number every year until we reach one million per year in 2028. • This will change the national breast cancer conversation from “Awareness” to “Prevention,” which is the founder's ultimate goal in honoring Becky Baker.

Who We Are

I am Rick Baker, and in May of 2017, I launched The Becky Baker Foundation after my wife passed away from Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. One of the last things Becky said to me was, “I’m just sorry that no one will ever remember my name.” I immediately promised her that ‘no one would ever forget her name.' I then deposited the $1 million dollar life insurance check I received from her death into an account to pay for 5,000 free mammograms, (or thermograms) to be gifted to the uninsured and underinsured. (Becky never had a screening.) Since that time, the BBF has given away over 2,600 mammograms and thermograms. Life is about what you give, not what you keep. The Foundation as a 501(C)(3) public charity, EIN number 84-2047492. Together, with thousands of others, we are committed to changing the national breast cancer conversation from “Awareness” to “Prevention." Only "prevention" saves lives. If you do nothing else today, please read "Becky's Story" on the website. Thank you. www.beckybakerfoundation.org. #race4prevention #golf4prevention #beckybakerfdn #Putt4Prevention #freemammogram #FreeThermogram #BreastCancerPrevention
