Goal #1 Boost Corporate Sponsorship Base (25%)

Corporate sponsorship is crucial: 100% of foundation gross fundraising money is directed to breast cancer research through corporate sponsorship of overhead and administrative costs. In 2010, we will re-enlist the 2009 sponsorship base, enhance and develop existing and new relationships, and increase new sponsorships.

Goal

• Increase sponsor dollars from $48,000 to $65,000 in FY 2010 to support the general operating cost of the Foundation.
• Increase the number of business participating in our sponsorship program by 25%

Goal #2: Fund Critical Website Upgrades (15%)

The TBBCF Website is critical for day to day operations of the Foundations connecting volunteers who performs day to day administrative services as well as a to our donors. As we operate on a robust system it is necessary to make significant upgrades to continue to provide high level of services to those who support us.

Goal

On the recommendation of the website committee the Board of Directors are embarking on a $20,000 campaign to fund these improvement and will be submitting grant proposals to the following Foundations as well as investigating additional funding sources.

Goal # 3 Increase the Foundation Core Volunteer Base (10%)

Volunteers are vital to achieving the foundation’s strategic, economic, and projected growth business model goals. The volunteer base includes the Board of Directors, a Scientific Advisory Committee and the Foundation Leaders.

Goal

The 2010 goal is to increase the volunteer base from 201 in 2009 to 225 with recruitment efforts aimed at increasing year-round support in the administrative/operational realm.

Goal # 4 Organize and Market the Walk Across Southeastern Connecticut Event (30%)

Survey data from walkers and crew volunteers who participated in the four walk events 2006, through 2009, indicate a high degree of satisfaction with the overall organization and implementation of TBBCF’s signature fundraising event.

The goal for 2010 is to continue to improve the Walk Across Southeastern CT by increasing the number of walkers and volunteers and to ultimately meet our dollar goals while providing a meaningful experience for everyone involved.

Goal

Increase the number of walkers from 482 to 600 and to raise $600,000.

Goal # 5: Identify Exemplary Breast Cancer Researchers to Receive Foundation Grant Awards (20%)

Through our efforts over the past four years, TBBCF has had the honor of funding promising young clinical and preclinical researchers in cutting edge breast cancer research.

Of the dozens of proposals that have been submitted to the TBBCF to date, Fifteen $100,000 grants totaling $1,500,000 have been awarded to researchers at some of the most prominent oncology research centers in the world such as the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Memorial Sloan-Kettering and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories.

The research that is being funded covers a wide range of important areas including exploring the underlying gene changes that occur in breast cancer patients, understanding the role of estrogen in the progression of breast cancer, gaining insight into which genes contribute to metastases and studying why resistance emerges to drugs currently used to treat this dreaded disease. A complete list of the grant researchers that have been funded to date follows. Researchers’ biographies can be found at www.terribrodeurbreastcancerfoundation.org listed under Grant Programs/Grant Recipients to Date.

Goal

• Build a SAC infrastructure for the purpose of processing and reporting for the tracking of applicants and awardees.
• Broadly support the goals and objectives of the Foundation through engagement of the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and board through dialog thus enabling us to align ourselves and/or assign the SAB to activities that would best be executed.
