On October 18th, 2026, Spa & Beauty Today had the honor of joining iS Clinical in support of the National Breast Cancer Coalition's annual fundraiser, Les Girls Cabaret. Founded in 1991, the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) is a collaboration of activists, survivors, researchers, policymakers, grassroots groups, and national organizations working together with the mission to end breast cancer.
Some of the important work the NBCC is doing includes:
Advocating for breast cancer patients: Giving breast cancer a meaningful voice in Washington D.C. and in state capitals, including the introduction of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act in congress in 2018.
Securing research funding: Advocating for additional funding for the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program (DOD BCRP). Over the years, this has resulted in more than $4 billion in new federal funding for breast cancer research and more.
Advancing breast cancer prevention research: Supporting research for a preventive vaccine through the Artemis Project Preventative Vaccine program.
Les Girls is a joyful show with a purpose. Featuring performances from Hollywood and Broadway stars including Sam Harris, Sandra Benton, Sharon Lawrence, and Nicole Parker, the annual show helps raise funds to support breast cancer research, advocacy, and education.
