Welcome to our website for the WORLD MOTORSPORTS BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION, that is based in the motorsports industry.  Many individuals are at risk for breast cancer are under or not insured.  The World Motor Sports Breast Cancer Foundation is a charitable organization that raises money for the victims of breast cancer that are uninsured and have a household income under $50,000 per year and are receiving treatment at a local hospital and or clinic. NO FUNDS are provided directly to individual victims of breast cancer. The Foundation provides grants to hospital/clinics for treatment of breast cancer victims, to schools/community centers for educational programs on breast cancer awareness and self testing and is attempting to fund the Annie’s Mini-Grant, which will pay up to $500 for personal bills of victims of breast cancer as well as other trust fund programs we have in place.  The Foundation also hopes to establish a FAMILY GRANT program that will eventually provide up to $10,000 per year for that family to use as they need. This FAMILY GRANT will be issued each year till the clinic reports the breast cancer victim cured or has passed away.

The Foundation attends events in the automotive and the motor industry everywhere they can and social events throughout the USA. The Foundation host its own events like the Save the Knockers Rallies that are hosted by clubs, companies or individuals all over the USA. Interested clinics and or individuals are encouraged to contact the national office for help in establishing fundraising programs within their states or countries.  The Foundation is always interested in working with clinics that serve the poor and uninsured as well as any company that has a desire to improve the lives of those who are less fortunate than most of us.
The Foundation is open to any individual, company or organization, interested in helping raise awareness and funds. The foundation has many options for companies, like our FREE Corporate Partner Program to be part of, which will bring civic pride to the company and the community it resides in.  We also have a FREE program for Fire Departments that provides them a way to raise funds for their community breast cancer program at zero cost to them and add their community clinic/hospital to the Foundation Trust Fund Clinic program.

Remember – PINK isn’t one month out of the year.   EVERYDAY IS PINK!

Why the Foundation was Founded 

Thomas A. Pollard founded the W.M.S.B.C.F. after he saw firsthand the hardship that his mother went through when she dealt with cancer and his aunt Rose who passed away from breast cancer in the mid-1950’s. Although his mother didn’t have breast cancer, he knew that all cancer victims have the same hardships, mentally, physically and financially. Even if the person or family has great medical insurance the medical bills can be overbearing. That was when he discovered that there are limited places to turn for help when things seem too much to deal with for the victims and families of breast cancer.

Tom’s mother, Anne, had pancreatic cancer. She battled it for a little over a year before getting the surgery to remove the cancer. 22 years after the surgery she was one of the few survivors of pancreatic cancer. She past away Oct. 28, 2011, after battling bone and skin cancer at the age of 86.  Tom’s Father battled Parkinson’s for 15 years before passing away from it on May 26, 2010. So Tom has seen first hand what cancer and other illnesses due to the victim and how it affects the families daily lives.

Tom did volunteer work for about a year with a breast cancer charity, and in doing so, he found to his surprise that there were no charities out there that help the victims and their families. Only indirectly by funding research. Tom discovered that there were no breast cancer foundations involved in the motorsports industry, so In October 2008 he started working to develop the World Motor Sports Breast Cancer Foundation (W.M.S.BC.F.), knowing that the motorsports industry and motorsports lovers are very giving, and are all about trying to help out others.  After a few years of doing research, talking to companies and spending his free time organizing the Foundation, In January of 2011, Tom was able to work full time on the Foundation and during that time the Foundation has had major growth.

No matter who you are, in some way, most people have been touched by cancer. Either firsthand or have friends and family who have or had cancer.  Remember, ONE out of every EIGHT females will get BREAST CANCER and 18% of all females in the USA have no insurance and 90% of those men who do contract breast cancer will die from it since they have NO knowledge what to look for.  Because of this Tom has worked hard to provide information and educational materials that are given out FREE at every event the Foundation attends with the goal to educate men and females what to look for and ask one’s doctor about.

This program, once funded, is designed to support those females who have had a mastectomy and would like to have a prosthetic replacement and financially cannot afford them.  This program will also support Knitted Knockers that supplies free knitted prosthetic to those who request them and will support those females who would like breast augmentation.  Our goal is to have at least $2 million in this program that could support up to 10,000 prosthesis’s per year and 10 augmentations per year.  Part B of this program is our Cranial prosthetics (wigs) program which we hope to provide for free to both youth and adult chemotherapy patients.  We hope to have 500 youth and 1000 adult wigs made available for those individuals who have been denied by insurance or have no insurance.
