Keeping Abreast Foundation

Mission Statement: To inspire hope and enhance life for those affected by breast cancer through early detection, advocacy, education and support services.

The Krewe du YaYas was formed in 2002. Our Keeping Abreast Foundation officially became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2010.
 
The Keeping Abreast Foundation is please to announce a new partnership with Woodlands Medical Specialists. Our partnerships with The Women's Group and Woodlands Medical Specialists will allow our organization to help individuals in our community receive necessary breast health related screening and diagnostic services.

Our upcoming events will allow us to help further our mission by:
  Offsetting housecleaning costs for those in recovery
  Assisting with the purchase of wigs and mastectomy bras
  Offsetting the expense of costly medications
  Sponsoring families in crisis
  Paying for mammograms to those who can't otherwise afford them.

In our 2014-2015 fiscal year, The Keeping Abreast Foundation provided approximately $35,000 in funding for almost 250 screening and diagnostic services, and approximately $4,700 to those needing assistance for other breast cancer-related expenses. These services were provided in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton Counties.
