The Fannie Lou Hamer Cancer Foundation, founded in 2004, is dedicated to eradicating cancer in Mississippi, particularly in the rural Mississippi Delta, through education, support services, research, and advocacy.
With a focus on prevention, the foundation has provided over 10,000 underserved women with free mammograms and Pap tests, as well as offering free prostate cancer screenings to more than 1,200 men. The organization's unique distinction lies in its connection to Fannie Lou Hamer, who died of cancer and serves as an inspiration for their work in addressing the cancer experience of impoverished women.
