The Friends of Silent Spring Institute was established in 2004 to build a growing circle of informed supporters dedicated to identifying the links between breast cancer and the environment while learning how to reduce risk in their lives. The Friends also raises funds to provide resources for Silent Spring Institute’s ongoing research, to advocate for the expansion of the national research agenda to include a strong focus on breast cancer prevention, and to educate the public about new research and actions individuals can take to reduce breast cancer risk.
