“Bow-Up Against Breast Cancer is an archery event to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama,” said Beth Davis, BCRFA President & CEO. “The tournament was created by Alabama’s archery and bowhunting community to raise funds for research. Our goal is to eradicate breast cancer with the help of local groundbreaking advancements in breast cancer diagnostics, treatment, and prevention.
“All funds raised at Bow-Up stay in Alabama.”
Since its inception in 2011, Bow-Up has raised $240,000 for the BCRFA. All proceeds support the BCRFA’s mission to help find a cure for breast cancer research by funding innovative research, including in Birmingham at UAB’s O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center. Since 1996, the organization has invested more than $16 million in Alabama-based breast cancer research, fueling breakthroughs to improve detection, treatment, and prevention of the disease.
“Alabama is expected to see almost 5,000 new cases of breast cancer this year alone. The Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama is leading the way in funding research to address this critical need,” said Davis. “Nearly everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer. Bow-Up is an exciting and impactful way to honor those affected and give them hope for the future.”
