Join GiveMN and thousands of Minnesota nonprofits as we raise millions of dollars together for the organizations which make our communities stronger.

Breast Cancer costs more than most have in their savings


The average cost of Breast Cancer treatment is between $20,000-$100,000, but 51% of Americans have $5,000 or less in savings, and 35% of Americans have $1,000 or less in savings. The disparity between the cost of treatment and the average American's savings makes a breast cancer diagnosis financially, emotionally, and physically devastating.

 

Hope Chest strives to alleviate the financial burden of a breast cancer diagnosis so patients can focus on their medical treatment and the fight of their lives.

Meet Elizabeth Grabek, Board Member

Like so many of us, Elizabeth and her family have been impacted by cancer, so being a part of Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Foundation is incredibly meaningful to her. She has seen first hand the challenges that even people with seemingly ample resources and support can face. Elizabeth has 15 years of brand building experience with much of that time spent on some of the worlds most beloved brands. She has lead strategy and insights teams at some of the largest agencies like Olson and Carlson Marketing and have helped companies like General Mills, United Health Care, BISSEL, Target, P&G and P.F. Chang’s reinvent their brands and galvanize their workforces.


We are pleased to have Elizabeth on our team to support Minnesota Breast Cancer Patients.
