Dear Friends,
As I reflect on my last decade as a member of the Living Beyond
Breast Cancer Board of Directors, and as Board Chair for the past
two years, I am struck both by how much has changed and how
much has remained the same.
This past year—2011—proved significant in many ways. Despite
the backdrop of a very challenging economy, LBBC remained
fiscally sound. Even faced with the culmination of our three-year
grant from the National Philanthropic Trust, we made thoughtful
decisions that allowed our programs, resources and staff to not
only endure, but to flourish and grow.
We received our first-ever federal grant—a multiyear award
from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—to
develop programs and services to educate and support young
women with breast cancer. The CDC grant reaffirms the
importance of our work for this underserved group and its
prestige will open many new doors for LBBC moving forward.

eaching a milestone as momentous as the 20th anniversary
of Living Beyond Breast Cancer inevitably calls for a look back
on the past two decades of events that helped mark significant
stages in LBBC’s development. As is the case for most institutions,
it is not one turning point, but a series of accomplishments along
the way, that have guided the course. It is these smaller, but no less
significant milestones that tell the true story of an organization.
LBBC’s history is one of hard work and perseverance; of meeting
need and remaining true to its mission. Because of this, LBBC is and
will always be the place where women can turn to for information
about the latest advancements in breast cancer treatment and care
in accurate, easy-to-understand language. LBBC empowers women
to make the best choices for themselves regardless of age, stage of
diagnosis, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or ability to pay.
This 2011 Annual Report celebrates not only the organization’s
achievements over the past year, but the many milestones that
have marked LBBC’s journey since 1991—defining its history and
shaping its future.

Conference for Women Living with Metastatic
Breast Cancer in April and its annual News You

conference in October, both in Philadelphia. Thousands
of women—representing nearly every state in the country—
are in attendance and thousands more access the resulting
transcripts, audio recordings and educational materials
from each conference archived on lbbc.org.
LBBC is invited to present at the 1st International Consensus
Conference for Advanced Breast Cancer, held in November
in Lisbon, Portugal. The Conference assembles more than 800
thought leaders from 64 countries, tasked with developing a
set of consensus guidelines for the management of metastatic
breast cancer (MBC). LBBC’s presentation shares key findings
from a comprehensive survey of nearly 700 women living with
MBC, conducted by the organization to guide the development
of new and expanded programs.

2011
The second edition of Getting Connected: African-Americans Living
Beyond Breast Cancer is released. The updated publication includes
offering support
and guidance
new perspectives from women navigating life
after diagnosis. More than 50,000 copies of this
award winning book have been distributed since
it was first published. LBBC’s collection of culturally
specific publications also includes We Celebrate Tomorrow: Latinas
Living Beyond Breast Cancer, written in both English and Spanish.
The LBBC Survivors’ Helpline continues to thrive, serving 34% more
callers in 2011 than 2010. This national, toll-free telephone service
is staffed by a dedicated team of women diagnosed at all ages
and stages of breast cancer. These women understand what having
breast cancer means and what to expect, and they have made the
commitment to “give back” by offering one-on-one peer support,
information and hope to callers. Helpline volunteers receive
specialized training and log nearly 2,000 hours of service annually.
For the ninth consecutive year, LBBC partners with several leading
organizations to produce the four-part Survivorship Teleconference
Series, reaching thousands of women around the world. In addition,
LBBC hosts 14 free, interactive teleconferences in 2011, sharing vital
information on the latest treatment options, research data and
quality of life issues.

1996
LBBC begins work on Getting
Connected: African-Americans Living
Beyond Breast Cancer, an inspiring,
culturally specific resource featuring
personal stories of diagnosis, treatment,
recovery and life after treatment told
by women of color.
1997
The LBBC Survivors’ Helpline is
created to connect women who are
newly diagnosed or undergoing
treatment with trained volunteers
in similar circumstances who offer
compassion, information and
support in a confidential setting.
This significant turning point allows
women across the nation to call
LBBC for one-on-one guidance
after diagnosis.
LBBC conducts its first teleconference,
Navigating Your Way: A Guide for the
Newly Diagnosed, attended by 700 women.

M i l e s t o n e s
2002
The first Yoga Unites® for LBBC is held on the steps of
the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The event, conceived by
yoga instructor Jennifer Schelter, MFA, is the result of the
inspiring story of Courtney Kapp. Ms. Kapp, a young mother
of three who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age
of 40, used the practice of yoga during her treatment and
recovery as part of her overall wellness plan. Orchestrated by
Living Beyond Breast Cancer CEO Jean Sachs, MSS, MLSP,
Yoga Unites provides participants the chance to serve as
grassroots fundraisers to support LBBC’s services.
2002

LBBC reaches out to
the newly created Young
Survival Coalition to cohost the annual Conference
for Young Women (now
C4YW), combining resources
to provide a much-needed
forum for women diagnosed
with breast cancer under
the age of 45. More than
500 women attend.
2011
LBBC continues to partner with other organizations including the
Young Survival Coalition, the Triple Negative Breast Foundation®,
the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network and the American
improving
quality of life
Cancer Society®, to allow the delivery of stronger and
more comprehensive programs.
lbbc.org is expanded to include a new section about triple-negative
breast cancer, with tailored medical and psychosocial information for
women with this diagnosis. The site’s new “Share Your Story” feature
invites women to write about their own experiences with breast
cancer. More than one million people visit lbbc.org in 2011 to access
the most current information available.
The organization’s signature education and fundraising event, Yoga
Unites® for LBBC, is renamed Yoga on the Steps® and LBBC leadership
directs a national expansion initiative. In Philadelphia, the 9th annual
open air yoga class and healthy living expo draws 1,200 participants and
raises almost $290,000. In October, the first Yoga on the Steps: Washington,
DC attracts over 200 attendees to Freedom Plaza and raises nearly $60,000.
That same month, Denver is announced as the event’s third host city.
LBBC works with doctor-researchers nationwide to develop a new
title, Understanding Palliative Care, for the metastatic breast cancer
community. The new publication joins the organization’s “Guides to
Understanding Breast Cancer” library.
11
2011
LBBC secures its first federal grant from Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC). First-year funds of $250,000 from this threeyear grant will allow LBBC to develop new and expanded
empowering
women
programs for young women with breast cancer. LBBC is
among only seven organizations nationwide selected by
CDC to receive funding for this purpose.
In August, LBBC is accepted into the Combined Federal Campaign
(CFC), the world’s largest and most successful annual workplace
payroll deduction giving program. LBBC immediately begins
engaging and preparing a corps of volunteers from across the
U.S. to introduce the organization to potential donors through
speaking opportunities at CFC charity fairs and campaign events.
In November, LBBC recognizes 20 years of empowering women
at The Butterfly Ball: Club 20. This “special edition” of the annual
gala recognizes the extraordinary leadership of the five individuals
who have chaired the LBBC Board of Directors since its inception.
Jean Sachs, who was named executive director (now CEO) of LBBC
in 1996, is presented with LBBC’s highest honor—The Founder’s
Award. Club 20 is attended by more than 500 guests and raises
over $550,000 for LBBC’s education and support programs.

2006
Charity Navigator, the nation’s leading
nonprofit evaluator, recognizes LBBC as a
“Four-Star Charity,” an elite ranking earned
by organizations that exemplify exceptional
fiscal responsibility—exceeding industry
standards and outperforming most charities
within their particular cause.
2008
The National Philanthropic
Trust presents LBBC with a
three-year, transformational
grant in the amount of $2.25
million—the single largest
grant ever received by LBBC.
LBBC’s goals of increasing the
organization’s reach by 35%,
building greater awareness
among underserved populations
and embarking on a strategic
planning process to lay the
groundwork for continued
