Breast cancer is probably the oldest cancer in women. The earliest cases date back in the ancient Egypt. They were noted as tumors or ulcers of the breast. The conclusion was that this disease cannot be cured. In 18th century the treatment has started. In 20th century the first foundations were made.

In that way The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation became the largest breast charity in the world.
The International Cancer Research Foundation is based in New York in 1992. In 1994 was established The Montreal Cancer foundation by Pam McLernon. Its main target is to help people who have by fundraising. Lately it was gathered a large amount of sums to finance the new research cancer or for new laboratory equipment. Many famous figures became participle in the movement. There were famous events and programs that helped to collect money such as Dans le Jardin and the Circle of Friends.
There are a lot of foundations all around the world. They are national or international. Their purposes are:

Some of them sell their clothes, precious things in a charity missions.
