Against the Tide is a major fundraising event for Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition whose mission is to prevent breast cancer by identifying and eliminating toxic cancer-causing chemicals from the places where we and our children live, work, and play.  Community education materials and webinars are available online free of charge, made possible by fundraising events and generous donors.
