Friends of Faith, Inc., a 501-c3 nonprofit charitable organization was
founded in 1997 by the late Faith Fancher after she was diagnosed with
breast cancer. The organization is made up of members from many
professions including media, business, medicine, religious and community
groups and volunteers.
FOF is dedicated to fighting the breast cancer epidemic by providing
funds to local organizations offering direct assistance to under-served
and under-insured women with breast cancer. Since its inception, FOF
has raised and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to individuals
with breast cancer and for grassroots organizations. In 2003, FOF
established the East Bay Breast Cancer Emergency Fund which provides
financial assistance to pay expenses such as housing, food or utilities
for low income women with breast cancer in Alameda and Contra Costa
Counties.
