Tax filing time is nearing. Don’t forget to contribute to Line 405 to make your tax-deductible contribution towards breast cancer research.
The California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) is fighting the disease through innovative science and community participation. Ninety-five percent of all donations support new approaches to prevent, diagnose and treat breast cancer in research areas that other agencies might be reluctant to support, such as:
- Identifying environmental factors that may cause breast cancer.
- Exploring the potential of natural products in preventing and treating breast cancer.
- Improving support networks to empower breast cancer patients.
But the fight's not over.
Check the box. Fund the fight. Find and mark line 405 on your 540 Tax Form. It's an easy, tax deductible way to help conquer breast cancer.
