A Special Thank You to all of Our Donors  

The John W. Nick Foundation, Inc. is very thankful to the individual donors, foundations, and corporations who have invested in our male breast cancer awareness program. We have been able to stretch our donations through all of our in-kind donations. Services and information are offered free. 

We cannot thank our donors enough for believing in us and our cause, and for allowing us to take this orphan disease into the next decade.  We are largely responsible for starting the conversation about male breast cancer in 1995. However, we would not have made it without our donors - present and past.  We look forward to future donors joining in the conversation about male breast cancer.

Present Donors

Patricia Nick	ct. Diamond 1995- present: A very special thank you to Patricia Nick who is a philanthropist in the world of male breast cancer. When her hus-band John W. Nick (of thirty-five years) was diagnosed with male breast cancer, Patricia was  unaware that men could develop breast cancer.  In 1995, along with her daughter Nancy and grandson Adam, they founded the John W.
