The WBCI is a volunteer led, working board with a mission to provide grant funds that support breast cancer services across remote Wyoming; with an ultimate intent to increase survival rate and decrease late-stage diagnosis. WBCI has four priority giving areas, including education/prevention, early detection screening/diagnostic testing, patient navigation and patient/survivor support services. WBCI has a proven ability to impact these four priority areas through Early Detection Voucher Grants and Community Grants. Early Detection Voucher Grants are awarded to the local Department of Health, Wyoming Cancer Resource Services to distribute as needed for breast cancer screenings, diagnostic testing and/or biopsies. WBCI Early Detection Vouchers are available for those in need, without any restrictions based on income, gender or age. Community Grants are awarded to Wyoming organizations providing vital breast health services through a competitive grant review process. As of 2021, WBCI has awarded over HALF-A-MILLION dollars through 75 Community Grants and 28 Early Detection Voucher Grants. Services have been provided to over 5,000 Wyoming residents. WBCI has funded: 3,881 Clinical Breast Exams; 659 Screening Mammograms; 251 Diagnostic Tests; 3,154 Patient Navigation Services and 337 Breast Boutique Services. WBCI is able to provide these vital, life saving services by raising funds throughout the year. Opportunities to join WBCI in the fight against breast cancer include: sponsorships, participating in events, donating, hosting an event in WBCI’s honor and fundraising through Facebook.
