The Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund Inc. awards grants on an annual basis to outstanding researchers who are continually working to find the key which will unlock the mystery of breast cancer. Our hope at the Fund is to ultimately find a cure, and even though great advances in methods of detection and treatment of breast cancer have been discovered, we will continue to fund research until we find a cure. For this reason, your help in our fundraising efforts is needed and Carol Baldwin has become well known for promoting her heartfelt belief that "Together We Will Find a Cure!"
