The Basser Jean Bash is generously being underwritten so that every dollar raised will support the life-saving mission of the Basser Center for BRCA.

BASSER JEAN BASH

ABOUT BRCAIndividuals who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation have an increased risk for developing certain cancers, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. These hereditary mutations affect both men and women and can be passed down from either parent. Research suggests that women with these mutations have up to a 75% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer and up to a 50% lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer.

ABOUT BASSER

The Basser Center for BRCA at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center, founded by Mindy and Jon Gray, is the first comprehensive center for the research, treatment, and prevention of BRCA-related cancers. Devoted to advancing care for people affected by BRCA gene mutations, the Basser Center’s unique model provides funding for collaborative research, education, and outreach programs around the world.  Our hope is that the Basser Center will eliminate BRCA-related cancers and, in doing so, provide a road map for curing other genetic diseases. Funds raised through this event will help to quicken the pace of life-saving medical discoveries.
