Our signature service is matching professionally trained volunteer breast cancer survivors and co-survivors (Mentors) with patients, families, and friends (Participants) who need support. These highly personalized, one-to-one connections are created based on a persons priorities and life stage as well as specific diagnosis and treatment plan.We are passionate about building connections to create a caring community of people who really understand what its like to have breast cancer or to support someone who does. A breast cancer diagnosis changes everything, forever. It can also be a lonely, overwhelming experience. ABCD understands these feelings and believes that no one needs to feel alone after hearing the words you have breast cancer. With compassion, honesty and service excellence, we make connections that make a diff false false 584922 Decades of research indicate that patients who take advantage of non-clinical support like ABCDs are more likely to finish treatment, have improved survival rates, show a reduced risk of recurrence, and report experiencing less distress, healthier social relationships, and an improved quality of life. (National Cancer Institute-Office of Cancer Survivorship & National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship)ABCD provides free, personalized information and one-to-one support to patients, families and friends affected by breast cancer, from the newly diagnosed to those in treatment and on into survivorship.Non-clinical Support: Our services focus on emotional and holistic support to complement medical care. We connect people (Participants) based on who they are as a person - their values, life stage, interests and concerns as well as their specific diagnosis and treatment plan.Caring counsel: We meet our Participants where they are at that moment by actively listening and finding answers or solutions to their most pressing needs, from short-term support about appearance issues and financial management to more extensive one-to-one matches between a Participant and breast cancer survivor (Mentor).Quality Information: We ease the burden of information overload by researching and curating materials to provide clear and concise answers or recommendations.Accessible: All services can be conducted over the phone or via email, in English or Spanish, and are available to anyone in the United States or around the world. We also have Mentors who speak French, Polish, Russian, Portuguese and Ukranian. Based on the generous support of our donors, all ABCD services have been and always will be free. ABCD also has specific programming targeted at underserved populations.Efficient Turn-Around: We know how important it is to connect with Participants when they need us. Every call or email is returned the same day or next business day. For Participants who seek a personalized match, ABCD Match Specialists conduct a thorough intake process and matches are usually made within one business day. In 2017, we made 317 Participant-Mentor matches and provided short-term support, information, and resource referrals (ie, wigs, financial support, etc.) to thousands of people across the country.We lead with compassion, honesty and service excellenceMentors are the Heart of our Services: High quality peer support takes more than good intentions; it takes preparation and training. ABCD Mentors are breast cancer survivors and co-survivors who are at least one year past diagnosis. Each Mentor has attended a 12-hour training session to learn how to provide peer support. ABCD staff is available as needed to help coach and guide the Mentor-Participant relationship, and we regularly host in-person or virtual continuing education programming to keep Mentors current and well-informed about the latest breast cancer research and treatment updates. Robust Mentor Database: We have nearly 300 Mentors representing almost every type of breast cancer diagnosis - from more common diagnoses like invasive ductal carcinoma to less frequent such as triple negative breast cancer and at every Stage, including metastatic. Our current Mentors range in age from 28 to 90, and are a cross section of races, religions, and socio-economic levels.The Art of the Match: Technology helps guide our matching process, but each match is carefully created to ensure a meaningful connection between a Mentor and Participant that meets the needs of the Participant. Matches can last a long as needed; sometimes its a few phone calls during the treatment decision-making process and other times matches develop into lifelong friendships.Family and friends: Breast cancer affects loved ones as well as patients. We understand and provide support and connection for anyone who needs it. 584922 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 0 false false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 15 15 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true true false IL WI X X Ellen Friebert Schupper 4149771780 5775 N GLEN PARK ROAD 201 GLENDALE WI 53209 Wayne Oldenburg President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Audrey Warner PAST PRESIDENT 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rohini Desai Treasurer 7.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Young Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Harris Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Therese Burkhart Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ruth Kallio-Mielke Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary J Dowell Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia Sara Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bonnie Anderson RN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sandra Underwood PHD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda EB Hansen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Billie Jean Smith Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH BRENNER Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN LOGIUDICE MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CINDY MOON-MOGUSH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GINA RICH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen Friebert Schupper Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 53205 0 25000 Ginny Finn Former Exec Dir 40.00 0.00 X 28731 0 3478 Mark Chiuminatto FINANCE & ADMIN 30.00 0.00 X 43342 0 2707 125278 31185 0 false false false 0 17272 125337 8000 358314 508923 0 7158 7158 0 0 0 0 37249 125337 24563 12686 12686 1520 1520 1520 0 0 530287 21364 0 0 0 0 131866 71188 23891 36787 0 317632 295325 13903 8404 0 32242 29834 1555 853 37448 29815 6613 1020 19401 16645 2122 634 0 28150 28150 0 0 3939 3939 1680 1650 30 34138 30304 68 3766 45530 40925 2604 2001 52994 48497 601 3896 0 0 1286 842 444 0 0 0 0 8751 8751 3836 3086 750 food service 5012 4645 367 DUES 4386 3182 754 450 Other Special Events 1796 68 1728 TRAINING 165 165 0 730252 584922 85761 59569 210067 84681 45304 42350 100952 40257 0 0 0 0 0 2349 3584 23288 19997 4858 3291 290970 332310 0 0 6250 5791 8550 8550 669300 520814 18677 39639 4650 23327 39639 X 527721 450446 118252 30729 645973 481175 669300 520814 -199965 35167 X X false true X true false X 677605 815508 679081 618144 508923 3299261 0 0 0 0 677605 815508 679081 618144 508923 3299261 120500 329939 392589 240200 201375 1284603 0 120500 329939 392589 240200 201375 1284603 2014658 29855 14881 6935 11975 7143 70789 0 29855 14881 6935 11975 7143 70789 0 126940 143985 84683 60626 38769 455003 834400 974374 770699 690745 554835 3825053 0.52670 0.51530 0.01850 0.03480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23288 19997 3291 3291 X 674931 35167 113416 148583 526348 3939 3939 530287 839729 113416 113416 726313 3939 3939 730252 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as other than a private foundation.
