The Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Foundation (HBOC) was established in April 2003 to ensure that the tragedy that has befallen our family does not happen again. HBOC's message is simple: be aware! The population at large must be made aware of the necessity to look into their family histories. Families and women who are at risk of being breast and ovarian cancer gene carriers must be provided with the knowledge and resources so that they can take action. Collaborative clinical and basic science research in the field must be supported and encouraged so that the future generations are not left with the same options that I was presented with.
The Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Foundation is the only organization of its kind in Canada. With a tripartite mission of action, awareness and research, HBOC is the only organization of its kind in North America. HBOC was founded to help prevent a close friend or loved one from developing breast and ovarian cancer.
HBOC's sole focus is on familial breast and ovarian cancer. HBOC is the national organization which is devoted exclusively to awareness, education, support and research in the domain. Currently HBOC is exclusively volunteer run. All donated funds are used for the benefit of our charitable programs.
The Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Foundation is a registered charitable organization with a head office in Montreal, Canada. HBOC's charity registration number is 88346 5304 RR0001. HBOC is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors which meets periodically throughout the year.
