Breast Cancer Research Stamp Authorization Extended

The Northeastern New York Affiliate applauds the extension of the Breast Cancer Research Stamp. The sale of each 55-cent stamp designates 11 cents to breast cancer research. Since its introduction in 1998, more than 924 million breast cancer research stamps have been sold - raising over $74 million for breast cancer research. Extending the authorization of the Breast Cancer Research Stamp, will raise additional funds for breast cancer for another four years - until 2015. Without Congressional action, the stamp would have expired on December 31.
