How People & Businesses Can Help:
By participating in BCFO events through attendance and sponsorship, local businesses can reduce the burden of breast cancer throughout the Ozarks. Legacy of Hope Society is available for those individuals interested in making a gift to BCFO’s endowment with gifts of stocks, bonds, or real estate.  

Volunteer Opportunities:
Event and committee volunteers are needed to help with the planning and implementation of BCFO events.  Volunteers are needed to help on a day to day basis with activities ranging from office assistance to providing information services at the BCFO License Offices to community calendar updates.  

Testimonial:
“We are so grateful for the financial assistance. It is hard to express what a relief it is to know the power will stay on during these coming months. Having gas money for the trips to chemo in Springfield is another wonderful outcome of your generosity. God bless you all as He continues to bless me during this challenge.”
