The West Islip Breast Cancer Coalition for Long Island, is a nonprofit, tax-exempt,

501 (c) 3, volunteer organization, established in response to the high incidences of breast cancer on Long Island.  It has become the mission of the West Islip Breast Cancer Coalition, to help women, men and their families overcome the hardships and unexpected expenses associated with a cancer diagnosis. We are celebrating out 30th year and are hoping with your help to make it a great one.

Our “Lend A Helping Hand” program provides a variety of free support services to women and their families, while they undergo treatment and/or post-operative care, for breast and/or gynecological cancers. The services provided are customized to the client’s individual needs and include such assistance as transportation to and from treatments, wigs, prostheses, housecleaning, food, child care, medical deductibles as well as many other services needed in order for them to maintain their households and remain on the path to restored health.

In order to continue our programs, we need to have fundraisers each year. The WIBCC is asking for your help with a donation of a gift certificate or a raffle item for our upcoming event, our 29th Annual Clam Shucking Contest, at Nicky’s on the Bay, Bay Shore, NY, it will take place on Tuesday, August 8, 2023.  More than 500 people, from all over Long Island attend this event annually and we would be proud to announce your help sponsoring this event and supporting those community members battling breast cancer.

Please accept our thank you, in advance, on behalf of the many breast cancer patients, across Long Island and parts of New York City, whose lives are made easier through the help of the West Islip Breast Cancer Coalition for Long Island.
