HELP US FIGHT BREAST CANCER!

During the entire month of October, McGee Toyota of Claremont will donate $20 per vehicle sold to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Breast Cancer Center in Lebanon, NH.

We are committed to helping those in our community who suffer from breast cancer and hope to make a difference in their lives.

Breast Cancer Facts

  • About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
  • For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer.
  • In 2020, an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 48,530 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.
  • A woman’s risk of breast cancer nearly doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Less than 15% of women who get breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it.
  • About 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. These occur due to genetic mutations that happen as a result of the aging process and life in general, rather than inherited mutations.
