Jane
Cusumano Foundation's
Jane's Breast Cancer Initiative:
Background
One of the
basic operating values of Chateau Wally Films
is " . . . to share a significant part
of the profits from all of our films with needs
that we deem important challenges to humanity."
In this spirit, the company has established
Jane's Breast Cancer Initiative as part of The
Jane Cusumano Foundation to help in the battle
against this disease, which was responsible
for writer/director Jane Cusumano's passing
on June 1, 2001 just four weeks after directing
her first feature film.
Mission
The mission of the foundation is, first and
foremost, to provide women with the latest
information on breast cancer prevention, as
well as information that will enable them
to take personal charge of fighting this disease,
should they have the challenge of doing so.
This mission is
implemented by:
- Providing
sources of information on the prevention
of breast cancer.
- Providing
breast cancer patients with information
sources concerning available treatments
so that they can choose what they feel is
the most effective strategy for treating
their disease.
- Providing
funding for diagnostics and treatment to
women who do not have means to do so.
- Funding
research directed at preventing and curing
breast cancer.
Funding
Chateau Wally Films will
provide seed funding for this foundation by
donating 50 percent of all net profits from
Jane's film, WHAT MATTERS MOST. Our tax ID
number is 77-0577497 Contribute
