Our Awards

Breakthrough produces many award-winning communications and campaigns. Of course, we feel tremendous pride in our work, but we aren't just tooting our own horn. These awards highlight the effectiveness of our work to educate more women on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, to explain the work of our scientists in a way that is easy to understand and to ensure our supporters know how their vital support is changing the way women experience breast cancer and literally saving lives.
