Linda Pedraza Scholarship Fund
Linda Pedraza was a member of the FORCE Board of Directors and a staunch patient advocate for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. She survived ovarian cancer only to succumb at age 45 of breast cancer. We have created a scholarship fund in Linda's name to honor her memory. 100% of the fund donations will go to provide financial support to people who cannot afford to attend our national conference. more...
Educational Materials
FORCE’s brochures are often the first information people receive about hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. We have identified needs for additional topics and communities in need of specialized information.
- Spanish language brochure
- Young and at risk
- What Every African American Family Should Know About Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer
- Birds of a Feather Reconstruction Resource: A workbook with photos of women who have undergone to mastectomy with or without reconstruction to help women make informed decisions about their reconstruction options.
Joining FORCEs Conference
The only national conference on hereditary breast and ovarian cancer is intended for anyone concerned about hereditary cancer: cancer survivors, high-risk individuals, those with a BRCA mutation or family history of cancer, and health care providers who treat high-risk patients.
The conference is sponsored by FORCE: Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered, the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, and the University of South Florida.
