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 has partnerships with Woodlands Medical Specialists, The Women's Group and South Baldwin Regional Medical Center. These partnerships have allowed 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.

Since the inception of our mammography program in 2012, The Keeping Abreast Foundation has assisted approximately 800 individuals in our community. We have provided over $138,000 in funding for approximately 1150 breast health diagnostic services, and $22,000 to those needing assistance for other breast cancer related expenses. These services were provided across the Alabama/Florida panhandle in Baldwin, Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Bay, Holmes and Walton Counties.
