ARDMORE, PA & BROOKLYN, NY — Breastcancer.org and Uncommon Goods today announced a new partnership through the company’s Better to Give program, offering shoppers an easy way to give back this holiday season and beyond. Customers can direct a $1–$2 donation to Breastcancer.org at checkout, helping fund vital programs that support people affected by breast cancer. Launched during a successful Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign, the partnership will continue through March 2026, bringing community-informed gift ideas and meaningful opportunities to support those navigating breast cancer during the holidays and throughout the year.
"As the husband of a breast cancer survivor, I know first-hand the value Breastcancer.org provides as a reliable (and free!) information resource,” said Dave Bolotsky, CEO for Uncommon Goods. “I am excited to have Breastcancer.org join our family of Better to Give partners and am looking forward to growing our $3 million in donations ever-higher.”
As one of only three Better to Give beneficiaries, Breastcancer.org will receive a donation each time a shopper selects the organization at checkout. The partnership gives customers a simple, meaningful way to make an impact during Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday, National Caregivers Month, and the broader holiday season—moments when many people are looking to purchase with purpose.
Central to the campaign is a curated collection of gifts selected by the Breastcancer.org Community—ideas informed by people who have lived through breast cancer and understand which gestures bring comfort, connection, and care. The collection includes personal care items, soft clothing, self-care supports, and practical gifts, anchored by insights from Breastcancer.org’s community forums and articles such as “The Best and Worst Gifts for People With Cancer.”
The partnership also features stories from Uncommon Goods makers whose lives have been shaped by breast cancer, underscoring the authenticity and humanity at the heart of the Better to Give program. Among them are:
Maggy Ames, who honors the memory of her best friend through her work and shares a deeply personal account of community support during treatment and survivorship.
Tulianna Garces, who creates jewelry with her daughter, Alejandra, in memory of her mother—a vibrant artist who passed away from breast cancer at 49.
“Extending this partnership means we can reach even more people who need support right now,” said Dr. Marisa C. Weiss, founder and chief medical officer of Breastcancer.org. “The holidays can be especially difficult for those in treatment. Funds raised through Better to Give help sustain our free support groups and trusted resources, ensuring no one has to face breast cancer alone.”
Additional stories will roll out throughout the campaign. Through March 2026, Breastcancer.org and Uncommon Goods will continue to highlight meaningful ways to support people facing breast cancer—not only through thoughtful gift-giving, but through acts of compassion, time, and community connection.
