Breast Cancer Prevention Partners

12/20/2025

Parul Somani - survivor, advocate, BCPP Board member, and mother - was diagnosed with an aggressive stage 2 triple-negative breast cancer one week after giving birth to her youngest daughter.

No mother should ever have to worry that she or a loved one will get breast cancer. That’s why at BCPP, we work to remove this fear by eliminating the toxic chemicals and exposures in our daily lives that are linked to this disease.

This holiday season, you have the power to create lasting change in the mission to prevent breast cancer. Thanks to a generous matching gift challenge, every dollar you give before December 31 will be doubled, up to $100,000.

Your support will help BCPP:
➡️ Stop federal rollbacks and push the FDA to enforce stronger protections for health.
➡️ Advance new legislation for safer food and safer beauty to better protect you and your family.
➡️ Launch a new, easy-to-use safer beauty list—a one-stop shop featuring trusted, science-backed, prevention-focused brands you can trust.
➡️ Bring our landmark report, State of the Evidence, to life as an online, searchable database highlighting studies relating to cancer-causing chemicals that consumers, press, scientists, policymakers, and business partners can access and use.

“I can’t think of an organization that will leverage donations and giving better. You can give and see the impacts immediately.”

A Climb Against the Odds and Hike for Prevention alumnus, Emily first got involved with BCPP and cancer prevention because of her mom's profession as an oncologist. Since then, she's been an avid supporter and advocate for prevention.

💜 Thank you, Emily, for sharing why you support Breast Cancer Prevention Partners!

“I remember thinking, ‘How could this happen?’” Eleven years ago, Parul Somani was holding her newborn daughter when she heard the words no mother should ever hear: “You have breast cancer.”

But Parul didn't just survive; she transformed her pain into purpose. Today, she's cancer-free and fighting to ensure no mother faces what she did. She's backing Breast Cancer Prevention Partners to stop this disease before it starts.

With more women being diagnosed in their 20s and 30s, the urgency to act has never been greater. But neither has the opportunity.

‼️ Right now, your gift will be DOUBLED through a $100,000 Year-End Matching Gift Challenge that Parul is helping fund.

Your donation fuels the science, education, and advocacy that remove toxic chemicals linked to breast cancer—protecting mothers, daughters, and families everywhere.

BCPP is driving real change: removing carcinogens from products, pushing for safer policies, and educating communities. But we can't do this alone.

💪 Let's create a legacy of health and hope. Together, we can protect what matters most.

💄Beauty should celebrate culture—not compromise health.

The AAPI community has shaped beauty trends worldwide, yet faces unique cosmetic safety challenges that deserve attention. We dove deep into the science, market trends, and cultural traditions to uncover what's really in the products targeting this vibrant community.

Our findings spotlight the challenges and provide resources to empower safer choices. Visit our dedicated AAPI Beauty Project page to dive deeper into:

➡️ The rich history of AAPI beauty traditions
➡️ Eye-opening safety findings you need to know
➡️ Your toolkit for making healthier choices

The reality? While research gaps remain for Asian American communities, toxic chemicals in products marketed to AAPI consumers are undeniable. This community deserves better. That starts with deeper research into this complex and multifaceted marketplace, greater transparency, and accessible resources.

Everyone deserves protection from unsafe beauty product exposures, regardless of where they live, shop, or work.

Right now, companies can legally sell you makeup with cancer-causing asbestos and brain-damaging lead. The EU has already banned these—why hasn't the U.S.?

We need your help to make federal cosmetic safety policy reform a priority for Congress. Raise your voice for Safer Beauty. Congress needs to hear it.

👉 Email your Congressional representative and urge them to support the Safer Beauty Bill Package! https://bit.ly/SaferBeauty4All

It's Giving Tuesday! Thanks to our partner Innersense Organic Beauty, every dollar you donate will be TRIPLED up to $50,000!

💡 Did you know? Less than 10% of breast cancer cases are due to family history. This means most are preventable.

We're exposed to toxic chemicals daily through the air, food, water, and products we use. At Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, we believe everyone deserves protection from harmful exposures linked to breast cancer.

Here’s how your triple-matched gift makes a difference:

✅ $5 = $15 → Educate legislative staff with factsheets on toxic chemicals.
✅ $30 = $90 → Power BCPP’s team to meet with lawmakers in D.C.
✅ $100 = $300 → Test products for hidden carcinogens.
✅ $5,000 = $15,000 → Fix broken laws that leave us exposed.
✅ $15,000 = $45,000 → Keep pressure on Congress + the FDA to protect us all.

Take just one minute to donate and triple your impact to stop breast cancer before it starts.
