Since our inception, we’ve contributed millions towards breast cancer research efforts in Houston. Annually, NOBCF organizes a luncheon along with various other fundraisers and presents the Spirit of Courage Award, acknowledging remarkable bravery in confronting the challenges posed by cancer diagnosis.
Our Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to raising funds for local initiatives that propel medical research forward, aiming for advancements in breast cancer treatment, and ultimately, the realization of a cure.

About Us

The Nancy Owens Breast Cancer Foundation supports education, care, and research to find a cure for breast cancer, while memorializing Nancy Owens’s life, the values she lived by, and the courage with which she faced her bout with breast cancer.
