ALERT:

HUNTINGTON BREAST CANCER ACTION COALITION, INC. (HBCAC)

DOES NOT TELEMARKET

HUNTINGTON BREAST CANCER ACTION COALITION INC., HAS NO ASSOCIATION WITH ANY GROUPS THAT HIRE TELEMARKETERS

Today, July 15th a solicitation phone call was received in the home of HBCAC’s President from a group calling themselves The Coalition Against Breast Cancer. The caller was reading from a script, and made it very difficult to interrupt to ask pertinent questions, such as: Are you a volunteer or a paid telemarketer; Where is your office located; How much funds go to support breast cancer services? The answer was a quick hang up. Part of the caller’s script mentioned their group as a Huntington coalition; subsequently we have received calls from members of our community who felt they were being targeted for financial support.

**Please note:

HBCAC does not and has never solicited the public through telemarketing to raise funds**

HBCAC has been serving our community for nearly 20 years and will continue providing breast health support services and programs to those affected by breast cancer. If you receive a phone call, please be aware that this group is not the Huntington Breast Cancer Action Coalition, Inc.

ANNUAL PREVENTION IS THE CURE SERIES

PITC was proud to conduct over 25 educational programs across Long Island communities, May 2008. Keep brochure icon and click here to view past programs

Prevention Is The Cure, Inc. is an anti-disease, environmental group that brings fresh perspective to the causes of disease rather than ways of coping once diagnosed. We are convinced that disease is not caused by genes alone but by the interaction of environmental triggers and genetic predispositions.

We differ from other groups in seeking to cure disease by providing science-based information to the public, and promoting informed decision making, reduced exposure to environmental toxins, and community wellness.

The science has spoken! Harmful environmental toxins are causing disease. Instead of waiting for definitive “proof” of the toxicity of millions of chemicals and products, we advocate a precautionary health model – one that says it is “better to be safe than sorry.”

PITC uses this Precautionary Principle as both a scientific and analytical model for public health education and behavior modification.
